Mapping Local Internet Control

from the Berkman Center for Intenet & Society at Harvard University

Countries by IPs per Point of Control
Here we list countries by the average number of IP addresses per point of control, where a point of control is defined as the minimum number of autonomous systems required to connect to 90% of the ip addresses in the country. This metric is intended as a rough measure of the number of different organizations required to have access to the traffic of the large majority of users within the country.

To see the map for a given country, click on one of the lists below and then click on the desired country name. For more information about the methodology used for the metrics and the maps, see the Methods page. For an xml file containing the raw data, including the network connections and the metrics for every country, see the Raw Data page.
