摘要

The research and analysis of Internet topology is hot in the field of networkmeasurement, which have important applications in network security, traffic schedulingand many other fields. Most of the existing works are focused on the AS-level and routerleveltopology, but few works are about the IP-level topology. In fact, obtaining thetopology of each continent and knowing how the topologies of the continents areconnected to each other can help us understanding the Internet around the world morethoroughly. In this paper, we obtained data sets from RIPE, constructed and analyzednetwork topologies of all the continents. By analyzing the topological connectionsbetween continents, we found out that most of the junctions of inter-continent traces arelocated in a few countries.
