Of possible general interest to the list, I had begun work over a year ago in 'mapping' out peering arrangements at various exchanges using simple packet probing techniques (traceroutes mostly from behind various providers nets) and gathering available public data. If anyone wants to see the data or more info, let me know and I'll make it available. Its only mildly interesting, but would be a useful method in developing maps ala the Lumeta method. It takes a significant amount of time (very difficult to automate) and energy to do this work, so its not all that reliable, practical or timely in many cases. John
