Map of the Internetwp, 22 November 2003.
Summary
“This is our first full Internet map with color and other graphing logic.
RFC1918 addresses have been hashed into a unique checksum so they do not incorrectly overlap with other routers or hosts.”
The colors are based on Class A allocation of IP space to different registrars in the world:
- Asia Pacific – Red
- Europe/Middle East/Central Asia/Africa – Green
- North America – Blue
- Latin American and Caribbean – Yellow
- RFC1918 IPwp addresses – Cyan
- Unknown – White
Graph Engine: LGL (Large Graph Layout)
Method
“Instead of mapping every single IP address on the Internet (theoretical maximum of 2^32=4,294,967,296 hosts) we simply traceroutewp to each class C network. The “traceroute” is a method to see how the operating Internet looks node-to-node. It’s more of a functional view than looking at how networks advertise over an ASNwp. This also reduces the theoretical maximum to 16,777,216 hosts.” [1]

Major Merchandise Ports [and likely waste transit points]
Summary
This map shows the major shipping ports of the world in 2003 together with the principal shipping routes.
The blue lines represent the major shipping routes and their widths are proportional to the volume of trade;
the circles vary in size according to the total volume of traffic in 2003.
Unscrupulous waste trade became a serious concern in the 1980s due to three converging factors: increasing amounts of hazardous waste; inadequate processing plants; and stricter regulations in the developed world as a result of growing environmental awareness.

Living on more than US$ 200 a day
Summary
This “Worldmapper” map shows where the richest people, or those living on more than 200 US dollars of purchasing power parity (PPP) per day, live. Territory size shows the proportion of of all people living on over $200 a day that live in each particular country. In 2002, a majority of these high earners lived in the United States. Western Europe and South America are also home to significantly large high earning populations.
The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the greatest and least percentages of the population earning over $200 in PPP a day. There is also a bar graph that shows the percentage of the population who receives over $200 per day by region.
