Diamond-Miner 💎

Tests Coverage Documentation PyPI

D-Miner is the first Internet-scale system that captures a multipath view of the topology. By combining and adapting state-of-the-art multipath detection and high speed randomized topology discovery techniques, D-Miner permits discovery of the Internet’s multipath topology in 2.5 days1 when probing at 100kpps.2

🚀 Quickstart

diamond-miner is a Python library to build large-scale Internet topology surveys. It implements the Diamond-Miner algorithm to map load-balanced paths, but it can also be used to implement other kind of measurements such as Yarrp-style traceroutes.

To get started, install Diamond-Miner and head over to the documentation:

# Requires Python 3.10+
pip install diamond-miner

Publication

Diamond-Miner has been presented and published at NSDI 2020. Since then, the code has been refactored and separated in the diamond-miner and caracal repositories. The code as it was at the time of the publication is available in the diamond-miner-cpp and diamond-miner-wrapper repositories.
