MAPPING -- Measuring And Practically Predicting INternet Growth

Measuring and predicting growth in Internet addressing, routing complexity and energy usage

IPv4 Internet Map Time Series

This page shows a time series of IPv4 space maps. Each map was generated for a 12 month window of IP data using the process described on the IPv4 Internet Map main page. For an explanation of how to read the map please also refer to the IPv4 Internet Map main page.

The first image shows the state at the end of December 2011. Each further image then advances time by 3 months, i.e. the second image show the state at the end of March 2012 and so on.

The buttons of the player are self-explanatory. Note, that moving the mouse cursor inside the image pauses playing. We tested the player with Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE under Windows and Linux. Note, with Firefox there may be some flickering between image transitions when playing or stepping through the series for the first time. Note, with all browsers there may be some longer delays occasionally between pictures when playing.

This project has been made possible in part by grants from APNIC for a project titled "Exploring the Utilisation of IPv4 Address Space and Size of the NATed IPv4 Internet" and an ARC linkage grant with APNIC as partner organisation for a project titled "Tools and models for measuring and predicting growth in internet addressing and routing complexity" (project LP110100240). The research has also been supported by Australian Research Council grant FT0991594.
