easymapit

So you have a traces.txt list of files with traceroute measurements from a specific date, and all you want to know is which ASes the IPs map to using bdrmapit? We got you:

./build.sh
docker run -v $(pwd)/data:/data easymapit W /data/traces.txt 2020-01-20 0
docker run easymapit help

Generating the data local directory

Copy your trace files inside the data directory. Then you need to generate a list of files you want to process using bdrmapit. Here is an example:

mkdir -p data
mv /original/location/traces-20220706 data/
cd data
# Note the use of "-exec echo /data" to build the absolute path when
# mounted inside the container:
find traces-20220706 -name '*.warts' -exec echo /data/{} \; \
        > 20220706.traces

Requesting access to CAIDA's private repository

You can apply to get access to CAIDA's private Ark measurements here.

Notes

• Several bdrmapit dependencies use Cython, which may not behave correctly on Apple M1/M2 processors. We have at least one report of crashes on new M1/M2 Macs.
