Some providers are VERY paranoid about people seeing what their routing
table looks like. I requested that one of our upstreams provide a
looking-glass and their reply was "The LG code requires that we open up
RSH on the routers. No Way!"
So...
I wrote looking-glass code that uses telnet. I provided it to the
provider in question. Still no looking-glass nearly a year later.
Oh well.
