; GeoPing Visual Internet Status 1.0 targets data file ; 1 October 1999 ; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; GeoPing operates as a screen saver. ; ; GeoPing displays a map. Every few seconds, GeoPing sends a "ping" across ; the Internet to various known servers, and listens for an echo. ; ; The map is colored to indicate the relative speed of that echo. Red colors ; indicate a hot or fast connection from your computer to that region, while ; blue colors indicate a cold or slow connection. Average (median) times or ; areas not near a known server remain green. ; ; Even though there are configurable options about how it displays the data, ; don't expect GeoPing to be a serious technical tool. It's more eye candy, ; similar to the colorful crystal display "moodrings" of the 1960s. Your ; Internet latency and bandwidth depends on more variables than one graph ; can possibly show, and as you'll see, the Internet is a chaotic system. ; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; GeoPing 1.0 Installation (preliminary) ; ; To install, put this file and the screen saver executable into your Windows ; directory. Once placed there, you should be able to right-click on your ; desktop, choose Properties, and select GeoPing as your screen saver. ; ; Files: ; GeoPing.scr ; GeoPing.txt ; ; On Windows NT, your Windows directory is typically C:\WINNT40. ; On Windows 98, your Windows directory is typically C:\WINDOWS. ; The GeoPing screen saver is not supported on Windows 95. ; ; Your system must have ICMP.DLL and WS2_32.DLL installed properly. ; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; GeoPing is offered as shareware. There is no registration requirement ; so far, but if you find GeoPing useful or interesting, please send ; US$10.00 to the author. Future versions will remain reminder-free ; if you support shareware today. ; ; Shareware US$10: ; Ed Halley ; GeoPing 1.0 ; 7050 E. Calle Orion ; Tucson, AZ 85710 USA ; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; GeoPing 1.0 Ping Target List ; ; Each line is a host which allows small unfragmented ICMP PING requests. ; Many of the hosts are routers or other major infrastructure hosts for the ; Internet itself. You can add more hosts, or edit or remove existing ; listings in case they are out of date. ; ; Fields are separated by one or more TAB (\t) (0x09) characters. ; The order of fields is listed below. Data which does not appear to fit, ; or any line beginning with a SEMICOLON (;) character, are ignored. ; ; The 'type', 'ip4', 'coords' and 'map' columns are the only fields used by ; GeoPing ping requests and plotting methods. The hostname is included for ; verification. The 'lat,long' column should be the best true machine ; geographical location known for the host itself. The 'coords' are merely ; the best pixel equivalent on the map image named. (If you see 0E,0N for ; true location, it's a plea for someone to research the actual ; information.) ; ; 'type': Accepts numbers 1 to 7. Identifies which icon type to display. ; Numbers 3 or 4 also plot a larger range of influence for the host. ; ; You can update this file automatically, from the files at the URL below. ; You can submit revisions or additions to this data by email; please ; include ONLY your revised data lines. System administrators who wish ; to have their hosts removed from the official list may also email. ; ; GeoPing Data: ; geoping@explorati.com ; http://www.explorati.com/people/ed/stuff/geoping/ ; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; USA map ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;type ip4 hostname host location host descript coords map lat,long ;---- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- ; AlterNET (UUNET) 3 146.188.242.34 190.atm3-0.tr2.dfw4.alter.net Dallas, Texas AlterNET (UU) 256,231 USA 0E,0N 3 146.188.137.34 108.atm6-0.tr2.sea1.alter.net Seattle, Washington AlterNET (UU) 44,33 USA 0E,0N 2 157.130.128.81 serial2-1-0.gw1.aus1.alter.net Austin, Texas AlterNET (UU) 240,245 USA 0E,0N 2 137.39.35.68 fddi0.ar1.chi1.alter.net Chicago, Illinois AlterNET (UU) 321,100 USA 0E,0N 3 146.188.232.173 194.atm9-0-0.gw1.jax1.alter.net Jacksonville, Florida AlterNET (UU) 405,235 USA 0E,0N 3 146.188.136.201 112.atm7-0.tr2.dca1.alter.net Washington D.C.
