RIR Network Trace & Latency Analysis

This project contains a collection of simulated network diagnostic tests (ping and traceroute) conducted against the websites of Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), along with ISP analysis using whois data.

Contents

• network_tests/
  • ping_results.txt: Simulated latency results from pinging the main RIRs.
  • tracert_*.txt: Traceroute outputs showing the hops toward various RIR domains and Cisco.
  • isp_analysis.txt: Analysis of ISP responsibility and routing based on whois information.

Targeted RIRs

• RIPE (Europe) – www.ripe.net
• AFRINIC (Africa) – www.afrinic.net
• LACNIC (Latin America) – www.lacnic.net
• ARIN (North America) – www.arin.net

Purpose

Educational repository to demonstrate how basic network tools can be used to understand latency, routing paths, and ISP transitions across continents.
