More recent efforts to map the internet have been improved by more sophisticated methods, allowing them to make faster and more sensible maps. An example of such an effort is the [[Opte Project|OPTE project]], which is attempting to develop a system capable of mapping the internet in a single day.

The "Map of the Internet Project" [http://mapoftheinternet.com] maps over 4 billion internet locations as cubes in 3D [[cyberspace]]. Users can add [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]s as cubes and re-arrange objects on the map.

In early 2011 Canadian based ISP [[Peer 1|PEER 1 Hosting]] created their own [[Map of the Internet]] that depicts a graph of 19,869 [[Autonomous system (Internet)|autonomous system]] nodes connected by 44,344 connections. The sizing and layout of the autonomous systems was calculated based on their [[eigenvector]] centrality, which is a measure of how central to the network each autonomous system is.
