Inferring PoP level maps is gaining interest due to its importance to many areas, e.g., for tracking the Internet evolution and studying its properties. In this paper we introduce a novel structural approach to automatically generate large scale PoP level maps using traceroute measurement from multiple locations. The PoPs are first identified based on their structure, and then are assigned a location using collaborated information from several geo-location databases. Using this approach, we could evaluate the accuracy of these databases and suggest means to improve it. The PoP-PoP edges, which are extracted from the traceroutes, present a fairly rich AS-AS connectivity map.
