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

Hi Lars,
You should check out https://ring.nlnog.net/ by contributing resources
yourself you also get access to a wide array of machines from all
across the world you can use to turn traceroutes and pings.
Some wrappers have already been made to run commands against multiple
machines at the same time (https://ring.nlnog.net/toolbox/), you'll
have SSH access to run any commands you want and there is an API to
find the probes if you want to automate it all.
I encourage anyone and everyone to join. The more networks the better!

Hi everyone,
In the next couple of months, I want to compare data plane and
control
plane measurements on a larger scale. In particular, I'm looking for
(publicly accessible) devices that receive BGP feeds and can
perform a
bunch of automated (paris) traceroutes. I currently do not have an
exact
probing rate or target set in mind; however, I'm sure that manually
entering IP addresses as targets for usual Looking glasses won't
cut it.
Does anyone know less-restricted (maybe even automatable?) Looking
Glasses (or similar devices) or is willing to provide access to one?
BTW: I though about picking Atlas probes from ASes that feed BGP
Collector Projects (e.g. RIPE RIS or RouteViews). Unfortunately, the
respective probes are often really far apart from the feeding
routers;
thus, their individual perspectives are likely misaligned :(
Best regards,
Lars
