Did you get written consent to provide that link? Their TOS says you have to: "8. You may not create a link to this Site from another website or document without WAIL's prior written consent."
I never visited the site, so I didn't have to agree to any ToS, but I heard http://internetatlas.org/ contains interesting content.

#18It's not the first internet atlas, and I'm not sure how detailed it is (cant open it because of Flash), or how accurate and what bias it may have either (I see that it is US Govt DHS funded).
Last year I helped develop The New Cloud Atlas https://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/the-new-cloud-at... which is essentially a custom map rendering of Internet and Telecoms infrastructure from OpenStreetMap. If you want to add more information to a map of the Internet, add it to OSM.
