Most backbone providers operate networks like this internally for their own SLA monitoring, which you can purchase, but what motivation would there be for someone to offer such services for free? After all, you can’t put an ad on a ping :-) -mel beckman On May 5, 2023, at 9:43 AM, Dmitriy A.

The only real reason I can think that you would want space SWIPed to you is if you are trying to get an allocation of your own and trying to prove you have existing space to renumber out of. In 25 years of working for ISPs I don’t think I’ve ever worked for one that SWIPed IP space of any size

You are right, my “Metro” definition is about ISP/Carriers. Mobile or Fixed, despite pure Mobiles would like to call it MBH – it has much less traffic (Mobile subscribers would always have 7x less than fixed). It is still the place where the majority of port capacity lives. Because all content
