What is it ? - OVERVIEW
How it works Mapping the entire IPv4 numbering schema of Internet cyberspace with over 4.3 Billion addresses, the Map of the Internet Maps the computers of the Internet (IPv4) which were each assigned by their host, a unique four part address number such as:
which are Domain Names assigned to those numbers. The metaphors used on this 3D Internet Map to represent the IP addresses are:
GGG is called a Galaxy or Building - 16 million Cubes (stack of 256 Floors) ZZZ is the Z axis called a Floor - 65536 Cubes (top down view of 256 rows of 256 Cubes) YYY is the Y axis called a Row or Street - 256 Cubes along a Row or Street XXX is the X axis called a Cube - the Location or Column on the Row Each FLOOR is shown from a top-down view with the CURRENT CUBE at the TOP LEFT (North West) corner. The system can be visualized as 256 Buildings that each have 256 floors, each floor being 256 by 256 cubes, or as 256 Galaxies each with their own 3D co-ordinate system. Map of the Internet has several Universes which arrange the contents in various ways. Universe 1 is a one-to-one numerical Internet Map of Domain Names (or computer names) to their actual IP (Internet Protocol) address. Other Universes allow User placement of cubes to any address, subject categories, one-to-one or many-to-one, alphabetical, or Internet subsets such as Websites, FTP, Telnet, News, Gopher, E-mail etc., special purpose, intranet, and non-internet data retrieval.
The above image shows the Internet Universe mapped in the 1990's. The Galaxies (GGG) are 0-255 from left to right, with the Floors (ZZZ) graphed bottom to top. A few sample IP's are shown from user traffic logs. Note the interesting dispersion. The main density is within Galaxies 190 through 216. The Galaxies in 130 through 170 range tend to be specific countries and governments. Sporadic points on the far left are from major internet pioneer networks such as HP, IBM, APPLE or HOME.COM. Military IP's can be found in Galaxy 33 and 132, among other places. MOVES
Visit the domain or website that the cube is linked to...Click on the CUBETOP of any text cube, or anywhere on an image cube - JUMP to Random Cube.The CURRENT Cube is ALWAYS the one in the TOP LEFT corner. - X Axis - Move Left or Right one cube. - Y Axis - Move Up or Down one cube or row or street. - X Axis - Move Left or Right one screen Page of cubes. - Y Axis - Move Up or Down one screen Page of cubes. - Z Axis - Move Up or Down one Floor. - G Axis - Move Up or Down one Galaxy.( The Map of the Internet is really 4D - more 4 dimensional than 3 dimensional ! Each of the 256 Galaxies GGG have their own 3D coordinate system. ) - VISIT - Launch cube to Browse a website found on The MapEnter any URL into the input field, just as you would use your internet browser's address field. That website will Launch for you to Visit directly in your web browser. Your browser will connect directly with the mapped internet URL address. If a address is not a regular web site, you may get a blank screen or some other message generated by that server, or generated by your browser. There are many many IP Cubes on the internet that are not web sites intended for browsers. Many are hosting other services like e-mail, DNS, IRC, and especially common are the servers for the connection of internet users, like you, who are given an IP by your ISP Internet Server Provider to get online.
MULTI - Multiple Cubes at the same Location 4 Billion IP addresses are not enough for all the websites !! Some IP numbers server several websites on the same numerical address. When there are more than one website at a Location on the Map, these are expanded as a MUTLI Cube area of cubes at the SAME XXX Location on the SAME Row YYY, displayed on its own horizontal line. The next Cubes on the same Row after a MULTI, continue the next line of cubes below. New Rows start at the left edge as usual. Click the button to see all the Cubes within a MULTI Location.SEARCH ENGINE - DOMAINS search button.Enter any words or phrase and the Internet Map Search Engine will LIST the domain names containing the matching phrases, followed by a MAP of found cubes. Select from the list and the map will be positioned, with the selected found cube in the top left corner. OR... Enter an exact domain name with extension, and the map will be positioned, with the found cube in the top left corner. If an exact match is not found, suggestions will be given. If you enter a valid website URL in VISIT mode, the website will be launched, with the Internet Map positioned to the cube of the domain hosting the website. If there is no server for the address you provide in VISIT mode, a standard 404 Not Found error may appear, however the cube of the host domain may still appear in the Internet Map if it has a DNS (Domain Name System) entry on the internet. Click on the host's cube, and you might find the intended page through links provided by the main host or ISP. - SUBJECTS search button.Use the SUBJECTS button to find cubes that have your search phrase in their description or keywords. Also use WICY ![]() WIKI CubeYard for even more powerful subject search technology. INPUT ENTRY COMMANDS: Enter single commands into the input field on the top of the Internet Map: POSITION BY NUMBER Enter any numerical IP address:
GGG.ZZZ.YYY.XXX - IP address.
ZZZ.YYY.XXX - IP subset 0 through 255.
YYY.XXX - IP subset 0 through 255.
XXX - IP subset 0 through 255.
Examples:GRID SIZE
Enter a value 1 through 256 H=n - Set the Internet Map HEIGHT to 'n' in number of cubes high. Enter a value 1 through 256 Examples: Enter W=10 then press return to set the width to ten columns. Enter H=2 then press return to set the height to two rows. 5x3 is suitable to a slower/lo-rez terminal or mobile, but 8x4 or even 10x5 may be appropriate for high end browsers. The overall display may be limited to 1024 cubes. Set grid size to full width 256 cubes wide (Single Row)Scroll left or right to see the entire row. Restore grid size to regular width and height.AUTO COMPACT - Compress CON - Turn ON the auto Compact mode. (default) COFF - Turn OFF the auto Compact mode to display blank cubes. Map of the Internet will automatically COMPACT to skip display of blank cubes. Blank cubes are those which do not return a Domain Name for the given numerical IP address from RDNS Reverse Domain Name System lookup. This does not mean that there is no computer at the address of a blank cube, it only means that athe owner of the IP address did not configure a reverse lookup of a domain name to the number. Blank cubes can still be launched and often may have working websites. When Compact mode is ON, blank cubes are not displayed. If a single blank cube is displayed, that means that the entire row is blank. The left edge column of each row, always starts at the same XXX number, but the cube numbers across the rest of the row will skip the numbers which are blank, and can appear to be out of sequence with the previous row, due to blank compacting. You can still move to any blank cube, either by entering the XXX column number or a more specific numerical address, or by 'moving' via the arrow keys. Page Left or Page Right moves will always move the width of the grid from the first cube, regardless of the range of compacted blank cubes displayed. This means that if you are at location 3 XXX, as in 100.100.100.3, and the GRID width is 7, then a Page Right move will begin the new display at location 10 (3+7), even if the previous display showed cube 3 then 50 52 91 due to the skipped blanks between 4 and 49. You would then see cubes 10 50 52 91 , not starting at 57 (50+7) You can turn ON the auto compact by entering CON. (default) You can turn OFF the auto compact by entering COFF or from the OPTIONS button, to see each blank cube. INTERNET MAP STRUCTURE Each Cube shows as a single pixel dot. Move around the internet universe in these amazing views. Click on any dot to launch that cube in the standard GRID Map, then click on any cube to visit the website. - Floor Map of the Internet - Universe Map of the InternetFEATURES - This Help.Many exciting new features are coming online all the time to The Map of the Internet.
