Introduction
The Internet Topology Zoo is an ongoing project to collect data network topologies from around the world. The networks are manually traced from operator provided network maps. This project gives a rough idea of what the Internet looks like.
The 3D Internet Zoo is a simple python script (50 lines) that uses the Internet Topology Zoo dataset to merge all topologies into a single Google Earth visualization of the Internet.

3D Internet Zoo dependencies
3D Internet Zoo relies on two Python libraries:
- simplekml, used for creating KML files for Google Earth.
- networkx, used for parsing GML graphs
You must make sure all these libraries are properly installed:
pip install -r requirements
