Does anyone know of a place where I can get a description of the
different networks on the planet.

Maybe a file describing where the machines are, where there are
gateways, nodes, relays, what is connected to what and where.
Statistics on use, traffic, demand, etc... would also be useful.

Something else, the history of the different networks and the
differences between them. Also what about the reason for the
variety of protocols.

I am asking this because someone I know is doing a paper explaining
these things. He doesn't have access to the networks free of charge.
