Expected Behavior

Currently the crawler is pulling a count for the network types distribution metric which also doesn't necessarily explain a useful metric of what constitutes hosting vs. business as an example. Questions to be answered here:

  1. How does this currently determine what "type" of network this is? Just strictly IP addresses?
  2. Where does the information relating to who an IP address belongs to come from?
  3. What is the difference between hosting vs. business? I would argue it would be better to simplify this to {residential, business, government, education, unknown}.

If there's any data crawled that we see is useful for another category, let's add it.
It is a good metric to know how much of the network is being run on cloud service providers vs. home staking.

Current Behavior

Confusing and unknown how this metric is calculated and displayed.

Possible Solution

Let's figure out the best way to collect this information. We should be clear in how we are capturing this metric. It may be good to outline here how this metric is captured and create some sort of tooltip in the UI to explain what is being done to get this number.
