We are happy to report that the paper “Census and Survey of the Visible Internet” has been accepted to appear at the Internet Measurement Conference in Vouliagmeni, Greece in October 2008.
A preprint is available at http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PAPERS/Heidemann08c.html, and an extended version is available as an updated technical report at http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PAPERS/Heidemann08a.html.
A number of folks expressed interest in our ANT census of the Internet address space at <http://www.isi.edu/ant/address/>.
We have three recent updates, a new TECHNICAL REPORT and a BROWSABLE INTERNET ADDRESS MAP, and a PROJECT BLOG.
We have have released a new TECHNICAL REPORT describing the methodology, ISI-TR-2008-649 at <http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PAPERS/Heidemann08a.html>.
This report should completely supersede our previous report (#640), adding:
We have also put up a BROWSABLE INTERNET ADDRESS MAP at <http://www.isi.edu/ant/address/browse/>.
With the Google maps engine, this map lets you zoom from an overview to any part of the address space, including showing individual hosts (permuted for anonymization).
Finally, we now have a PROJECT BLOG to allow folks to track future developments: <http://www.isi.edu/ant/blog/>. We plan to do all future announcements via the blog rather than with general e-mail messages, so folks can opt-in to what they want to hear.
We welcome any comments about the map or technical report, either to our group mailing list (ant, then at isi.edu), or to individuals.

Welcome to the ANT Project Blog. Folks are welcome to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog if they wish to track research related to the analysis of Internet traffic in the ANT group at ISI, USC, and CSU. We expect this blog to be very low traffic (research takes time!).
