Towards a Publicly Available Framework to Process Traceroutes with MetaTrace
Our IMC 2023 poster presents MetaTrace, an open-source framework built on ClickHouse that processes billions of traceroutes on a single server.
Replication: Towards a Publicly Available Internet scale IP Geolocation Dataset
Our IMC 2023 replication paper revisits two well-known IP geolocation techniques, shows they do not reach their claimed accuracy or coverage on today’s Internet, and releases all code and data as a public baseline.
