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 and jurisdictions. To research this I wanted to map the different servers one visits before one 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 addresses to countries and convert the data into something that can be visualized using Graphviz's DOT language.
