"With the massive amount of users trafficking the internet today, weird things are bound to happen, but about the strangest perhaps is the recently discovered, but long suspected phenomena of internet "black holes." Traffic is unintentionally routed into these holes at times, forever lost, even though a working path existed between the sending computer and receiving computer.
University of Washington researchers developed a system known as Hubble, which scours the dark depths of the internet for black holes, posting the results on the website. The result is an ever-shifting map of the internet's weak spots. Users can view a specific map or type in a specific web address to type for problems."
