- Thanks for the pointers. I also stumbled on some good maps depicting
- worldwide Usenet news flow at a site in Norway. (Unfortunately don't have
- the node name handy, but Archie should be able to find the files somewhere.
- Names are of the form "na-flow" for North America data flow. They show
- dramtically how busy the net is.)
-
- However -- this isn't exactly the sort of thing I have in mind. I'd like
- a graphic that depicts the notion of arbitrary users running clients and
- connecting to arbitrary services randomly dispersed across the Internet.
- If I had better graphic skills I'd draw this up myself. If anyone has
- this sort of diagram in their "Intro to the Internet" toolkit please
- respond here or send me mail. Thanks.
