Uh no. Tickets on MEA from LHR go for about 300 GBP return, tho.

Seriously, it\s heaven on earth and I'm moving there in February.
Sure their internet connectivity isn't great and state supplied electric grid is foobared (but every block has a generator guy, you get two electric bills, it's amazing, they turn 12 h / day from the state into 24 h / day with a few mins max downtime for the switch-over).

Hello!
First off, I do hope your kidding Sampsa, you're better off landing in
Israel regardless of one or two little details.
Second Johnny are we really starting on our second decade with this
good idea of yours? It only seems like it went live about five or so
years ago. Perhaps less then that.

I haven't thought the whole thing through yet. I don't know if that is
enough information to figure out what the exact segments are...
But you'll have to agree that a fully connected mesh is confusing to
look at,
when the reality is that it's a bus-type connection.

True but it's hard with the bridges - if everyone used MULTINET point to
point connections, this would be a doddle :)
Still, it's better than nothing..

If people put their geographical location in GPS cords on their INFO.TXT files, I don't see why this would be impossible
I have my general area in my INFO.TXT. Nothing /exact/ though. ;)

I did something like that, about a year ago? But it was manually not automated

Guys,
We're working on a network walker that will eventually produce a graph of HECnet.
We're basically doing a NCP SHOW KNOW CIRC, grabbing each area routing node and then recursively walking those.
Well it's a bit more complex than that, but that's the general idea :)
Once this is done, we do a NCP SHOW ADJ NODES to get the nodes in the area of each area router.
This is what we've come up with so far (the ADJ NODES code is under work, so if your node is missing, don't worry - mainly checking all the area routers are there):
http://sampsa.com/routers.svg
Very cool. However, if someone were to do something really useful, it
would be to instead figure out the actual connectivity.
It's hard to explain exactly what I mean, but in short, that graph have
quite a lot of lines for the Update bridge, for example. But in reality,
that is all one ethernet segment. Such a thing would be nice to have
illustrated as one (thick) line with all nodes attached to that.
The same goes for a local ethernet segment somewhere as well. Having
everything illustrated as point-to-point connections makes for lots of
lines, and sometimes some confusion.
Another kind of graph that would be cool (but even harder) would be to
have a map of the world, with the nodes placed out, and connections.
That kind of map would work to have everything illustrated as
point-to-point connections. But figuring out the physical locations is
another story. (I guess the only way would be if people could put that
kind of information in some file, in a format that would be machine
parseable.)
Anyone feeling like tackling this? :-)

Hey Johhny,
Can you add:

Not sure if I confirmed that I did this...
