There are some cool tools being developed at NLANR and elsewhere for
mapping the Internet. You can see all the links going to the major
routing nodes and access points, and map network performance onto colours,
etc.

The page http://vancouver-webpages.com/cgi-pub/whereis.html
is collecting geographic information which can be used to plot
network nodes in the real world. If you've got a machine with a static
IP address, and you know where it is in terms of latitude and longitude,
you can add it to the database. (Currently the plotting is not
automated, so don't expect to see your node added right away.)
