If you're going to make it a TIMO project . . .

Make sure you get permissions from Scott & Co. before using the TIMO name.

Harder

Hmm. The best independent information I have been able to find about the DIMES project - and it wasn't an easy search - was this:http://ica.cordis.lu/search/index.cf...TOKEN=86901867

It appears DIMES is looking at 2025. I also googled the project coordinator, Professor Scott Kirkpatrick, and found him http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~kirk/.

I skimmed through his latest paper/presentation, "Jellyfish and Other Interesting Creatures of the Internet" (!). http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~kirk/Jellyfish_Dimes.ppt. That link is a Powerpoint presentation, so not surprisingly, I did not understand very much...

But he's only the Coordinator. Haven't had time to look at the leading project staff.

I just did . . . I under stood the first, but the second talks much of k-shells and other things I dont understand . . . could someone more proficent in this part weigh in?

I did see a map of the network mapped so far, and some of the results look promising, and they do seem to have a legitimate idea worthy of the DC realm. Any word on wether this will interfere with FaD much?

How do I contact someone to see if it is okay if we start a TIMO team?

i asked if we can use the TIMO name in our team... :] waiting for reply

Sweet! I hope we get to do it, and It seems that It wont affect FaD too much!

vikeor · September 26th, 2005, 11:34 AM

its not.. im running Dimes on one of my crunchers and its not affecting it at all

Looking over the site, seems like an interesting idea

Is it looking just at the ISPS or all the way to the end users?
My concern is even if say you complete this project in a day (just an example) you would have to start all over again cause people and ISPs are always adding on and taking off everyday.

Plus some sites are set to not respond to a ping request. So some stuff wont get mapped out

But it will still give us a fairly accurate representation, won't it?
