The internet building, Ted Stevens and Internet network layer protocol

[IChing]

Just something to think about for your internet experience on what makes it tick , the tour of Equinix buildings in fascinating it takes 10mega watts to keep it going and look at the power backup. I hope some DUers with more back ground can explain the visualization of IPv6 to tell me what we are seeing there. Then last but not least the Ted Stevens Flash speech speaks for itself.

Take a tour of the data warehouse for the Web

Equinix is responsible for holding massive amounts of data, including storage for popular sites like MySpace.com. Take a tour of the facilities, and see how much energy it takes to keep the Web alive

Visualizing IPv6 AS-level Internet Topology (for the geeks here)


The current Internet network layer protocol - Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) - has been strained by the rapid growth of the Internet. Many regions of the world are beginning to transition from IPv4 to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) to solve some of IPv4's limitations. The transition has been underway since 1997, with the IPv6 Internet coexisting with the IPv4 Internet. Here we present a visualization of the AS-level IPv6 topology as observed on March 4th, 2005.
