Mapping the Internet’s Address Space
November 2nd, 2007
Similar to the other maps of the Internet, here’s a nice visualization of the complete address space of the Internet (and in javascript, no less). You can zoom in and out and move around all Google Maps style. Click on any part of it to display who owns that address. The grey boxes are unrouted, the black boxes represent the registries and the red boxes represent known spammers.
From just a little scouting around, you can see how much of the Internet isn’t routable yet. I don’t know why IANA has all those reserved blocks, but it sure looks like we don’t need IPv6 anytime soon…
Very cool!
But, we still do need IPv6. I’ll just say one word: NAT.

Okay, yes, I realize that’s three words condensed into one acronym. Whatever.

Yeah, I know we still need it. I said that with tongue in cheek, since someone may think that after looking at the map.

You’re supposed to do what I do, and follow anything said in jest with 10 smiley faces and 2 winks:
