Наткнулся на красивый проект – физическую карту интернета. На визуализированы ней дата-центры, IXP (точки обмена трафиком), подводные кабели как карта мира! Авторы проекта предлагают такое описание:
«Physical Internet is not something on the cloud, but rather a structure made of physical objects: routers, cables, antennas, internet exchange points and data centers are just some of the elements that make this communication possible. The visualization focuses on showing the physical structure and the actual number of three main objects: data centers, where data is organized and stored; internet exchange points, that allow different service providers to exchange internet traffic; and, submarine cables, that carry telecommunication signals across oceans and seas. By looking at the visualization, one can easily see the difference between the countries who are connected and the ones which are being left out»
По мнению авторов, карта помогает понять экономическую и политическую ситуацию. Казалось бы, мы смотрим всего лишь на инфраструктуры, а видим социальные отношения – просто сравните северную и южную части карты.
