> looking glass without routing, indeed a new perspective :(
with a bit more coffee, perhaps i can expand a bit.
for widely distributed data plane probes (ping/traceroute/...), we have
good alternatives, nlring, ripe atlas, traceroute.org, etc. as an op,
nlring is my fave of the month as i can go from question to result in
minimal typing and a matter of seconds.
'looking glass' has traditionally meant a control plane (routing) view.
this is a rarer beast, and setting one up is often a bit crude.
