The numbers on this page describe the live state of the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network — thousands of computers around the world running Bitcoin software and gossiping with each other to keep the blockchain in sync.

A “reachable node” is a computer that responded to your crawler. The queue is IPs the crawler still has to try. The height is which block the network is on. Snapshots are taken once per crawl cycle and stored as JSON files on disk.
