with a bit more coffee, perhaps i can expand a bit.
for widely distributed data plane probes (ping/traceroute/...), we have good alternatives, nlring, ripe atlas, traceroute.org, etc. as an op, nlring is my fave of the month as i can go from question to result in minimal typing and a matter of seconds.
'looking glass' has traditionally meant a control plane (routing) view. this is a rarer beast, and setting one up is often a bit crude.
