About /// FixedOrbit

What is FixedOrbit?
    FixedOrbit is an easy-to-use system to help get a birds eye view of the Internet, the networks that make it up, their relationships with other networks as well as their internal size and structure - think of it as a sort of world map or atlas of the Internet. Unique to FixedOrbit is the Knowdes Index, which help to quickly and easily show the most connected networks in the world, based on more than 20 data sources, including the routing tables used to move data packets from network to network.
    From it's early incarnation in 2000, it was obvious that FixedOrbit could provide a new perspective into Internet routing and specifically the black art of peering. As the number of data sources increased additional features were added giving more depth and breadth, and helping to identify emerging trends in the Internet infrastructure space. The current implementation of FixedOrbit is updated periodically (at a minimum of once per week), although in the future the update frequency will be increased.

Powered by Links!
    You may have noticed that FixedOrbit is free, and that there are no popup, popunders, banners or any of the normal fair of advertising overload that is normally associated with any website on the net these days. There is a reason for it, and it's not just because I don't like popups - when I created FixedOrbit I did it to better understand how networks were interconnected on a practical level, and once I was done I though other people might also find the results beneficial. So what does this have to do with linking to it? Simple - the more links that come in to FixedOrbit, the more people want it to continue to evolve and flourish - it's your vote that you like this website. Even as automated as I've managed to make it, there is some work needed to keep it happy, so if you like the site, and want to see all sort of cool things added in the future, then link to it, spread the word, and have a great day! :)
