It is about visualization and simulation of Africa's internet Topology using Python, Google Maps API, and flask # Visualization-and-simulation-of-Africa-s-Internet-topology **A. Preamble** This project involved building an online visualizer and simulator for Africa's Internet Topology. To visualize the the topology, internet measurements are taken from Speedchecker (speedchecker.com), CAIDA (caida.org), RIPE Atlas (ripe.net). Traceroutes measurements are collected from the platforms. Remember that these internet measuring platforms uses active probing method of collecting internet measurements. After obtaining these traceroutes, they are stored in Mongo DB online (mongodb.com) where they later are obtained and processed. The processing of the traceoutes involves modelling nodes and links from the traceroutes. Links and nodes are then used to map the internet topology **(Visualization)** which is later used for **Simulation** purposes. * A live web application is still in development stage (mostly on maintenace) but can be found here: africa-s-internet-topology.… **B. Code Sections:** 1.
