Internet Map 2010: A BGP Visualization Pioneer

This 2010 image of the internet, unseen publicly until 2014, represents a groundbreaking visualization. Unlike previous traceroute-based maps, it uses BGP data as its foundation, creating a framework for future internet visualizations using the Route Views table dump archive. The color scheme depicts connection density as incandescence, with hotter colors representing higher connection points. This image was previously only viewable at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and in Discover Magazine.
