The length of the lines are indicative of the delay between those two nodes. This graph represents less than 30% of the Class C networks reachable by the data collection program in early 2005. Lines are color-coded according to their corresponding RFC 1918 allocation as follows: • Dark blue: net, ca, us • Green: com, org • Red: mil, gov, edu • Yellow: jp, cn, tw, au, de • Magenta: uk, it, pl, fr • Gold: br, kr, nl • White: unknown • Source Originally from the English Wikipedia. • Date Original upload: December 1, 2006 Author Matt Britt
