DIMES Public data repository

The DIMES project is publishing AS graphs and router graphs of the Internet for usage by the research community, as of June 2005. The datasets are published on a monthly basis, and contain the following:

• DIMESEdges - a set of AS level edges which were found at that month and were seen at least twice.
• BGPEdges - a set of AS level edges which are inferred from BGP updates from the routeviews project .

The data sets are gzipped, tab-delimited text files. The AS level graphs are undirected (i.e. each edge appears once regardless of discovery direction) while the router graph is directed (i.e. if two directions of an edge were found, there will be two entries in the dataset).

The data is provided under the conditions it is used solely for reasearch and educational purposes. Specifically it is not allowed to use the data for any commericial usage.

If you use our data to produce a paper, please:

• Reference the DIMES project, e.g., by citing to the paper below.
• Send us a copy of or link to the publications which are based on DIMES data, e.g., to shire@eng.tau.ac.il
