How the Internet Routing Status screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
How much address space the biggest networks actually advertise into the global routing table, from RIPE's key-less RIPEstat. Every network has to announce its prefixes via BGP for the rest of the world to reach it; this is that announcement, seen from RIPE's collectors.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
