Traceroute maps

Description

Based on the texts discussed during the RW&R Methodologies class I started to become interested by the physical aspects of the internet. The fact that packets travel from server to server and in this process might travel through different countries. In these different countries data crosses laws might apply that say your data packets are to be monitored. To this I wanted to map the different servers one visits before he reaches a certain website. This can be done using the shell command traceroute, which will output the server routing data in a regular format. Using python and the pygeoip library I then tried to link the IP adresses to countries and convert the data into something that can be visualized using Graphviz's DOT language.
