Open.Data HowFaster.Net resources consist of multiple datasets with different
levels of abstraction.

A distinction is made between the level of abstraction for:

- Autonomous systems;
- Continents;
- Countries;
- Regions;
- Cities;
- ZIP codes;
- Time zones;


=========================================================================================
Sets are divided into specific editions.
Each data edition defines a specific time range of system measurements.

Data sets editions ID:

Open.Data HowFaster.Net mirrors

Open.Data HowFaster.Net sets is distributed (mirrored) on multiple
servers on the Internet.

Open.Data HowFaster.Net mirrors are maintained by volunteers, so if there
are no good mirrors near you and you are in a position to donate disk
space and connectivity, consider creating a mirror and contribute to making
datasets more accessible.

If you are interested in supporting the project by sharing your data
mirror please contact us (contact: https://cybercomplex.net).
