Host s6.irl.cs.tamu.edu performs a traceroute to each destination in our set of target hosts, which consists of well-known web and DNS servers. Each host receives a few small packets needed to detect the hop distance from our host. The trace proceeds in reverse order and aims to reduce the load on intermediate routers by stopping as soon as a known router is found.

Not to our knowledge. All transmitted packets are compliant with protocol specification and do not aim to exploit any vulnerabilities in target hosts.

We respect the privacy of target networks. Results of this project will be reported only in statistical summaries that will not reveal the structure of individual networks.
