DIMES is a testbed based on distributed light-weight software agents, aimed at studying the structure and topology of the Internet, with the help of a volunteer community (similar in spirit to projects such as SETI@Home).

DIMES welcomes volunteers who want to participate in this important measurement effort and help us discover the Internet. If you want to suggest ideas or comment on DIMES you are welcome to visit the DIMES forums.
