My Alaska-focused public SmokePing instance:
http://akmon.techsolvency.com/smokeping/
... has links to other public SmokePings. Many of them have a general
"is the Internet healthy" target group.
I looked through those groups and selected a cross-section for my own group:
http://akmon.techsolvency.com/smokeping/smokeping.cgi?target=Other
Some of them are subject to CDN or anycast; other are not.
If anyone has a public SmokePing instance, send me a link and I will add.

Does there exist a list or any generic recommendations of different targets to config within smokeping? Google and searching the NANOG mailing list have failed me, and I donÿÿt want to just spam random IP addresses with ICMP requests if thereÿÿs a more official/accepted method for doing this.
