non-rate limited, automatable Looking Glasses?

Sun Jul 19 06:56:49 UTC 2020

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for the pointer! Unfortunately, not all devices that can perform 
traceroutes are suitable for my issue; I can only use those that also 
allow me to inspect their routing table so I can compare the chosen 
control plane path with the actual data plane path. In addition, the 
richer a device's routing table the better---there is not much to 
measure with only a default route :)

Best regards,

Lars
