In this paper, we are going to describe our technique to discover the Internet Address Preexes (APs). This technique is based on distancee. By distancee we mean latency or hop count. Different techniques have been previously used to mapp the Internet. Most of those techniques depend on hop-limited probes, which increase the network load around the hosts that are doing the mapping. Our technique...
