Since I've been hitting a lot of looking glass sites on traceroute.org lately that no longer worked, I decided to make my own list in wiki form. That way, as links drop off the face of the earth, or as new looking glass pages turn up, the community can edit the wiki page to keep it current. If anyone is interested, its at http://www.bgp4.net/cgi-bin/bgp4wiki.cgi?Looking_Glasses_Wiki and currently lists well over 200 looking glasses.
Janet, all, FYI Traceroute.org is updated approx once a month, most of the input is based on user feedback these days since automated checking is usually rejected by a lot (most) webmasters in order to prevent automated querries so I get a lot of false positives. Also, since quite a few of these services are maintained by engineering teams they tend to go offline for hours/days/weeks/months but are valid URLs.

First, let me say that traceroute.org is a wonderful site. I have no desire to pull all of it into wiki format. All I am interested in are the looking glasses and route servers. Since there are only a few hundred of these, I'll still be able to hand check them every few weeks. Also, being a wiki, users will be able to update the entries themselves. Thanks for all the hard work you to on traceroute.org. I really appreciate and use it a lot.
I noticed that recently on Geektools also and that needs to updated and or fixed -Henry --- Janet Sullivan <ciscogeek@bgp4.net> wrote:
