Abstract

The I2P (Invisible Internet Project) network is a low-latency anonymous network composed of I2P routers based on garlic routing, which is mainly to protect privacy and prevent tracking, such as evading censorship and hiding whistle-blowers. As opposed to well-known and well-research Tor network, I2P aims to organize itself and distribute its anonymity. To our best knowledge, the study of I2P measurements is still insufficient. Thus, this paper proposed a novel method to measure I2P anonymous network nodes, including passive measurement and active measurement, and designed a local I2P node analysis system. Through experiments, we collected 16040 I2P nodes and analyzed properties including country distribution, bandwidth distribution and FloodingFill node attributes.
