Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to consolidate data concerning Internet backbone networks that span the European continent. This data encompasses various facets, including network ownership, technology, capacity, routes, and interconnectivity between networks. There currently exists no single, consolidated, and comprehensive source for this information in Europe. This contrasts with the situation in the United States, where specialised data brokers offer such consolidated data. This work focuses specifically on European continental network backbones, excluding metropolitan area networks and last-mile connectivity.
