packet_delays: Internet packet delays (2002)
A network representing the difference in delay observed by packet probes sent from a computer at Rice University to similar machines at different universities, in c.2002. The edge weight denotes the difference in delay of the packet in milliseconds.
This network has 10 nodes and 9567 edges.
