Paul- You said: "... would decide to configure MPLS paths between Chicago and distant international locations ..." AS3128 runs MPLS and it's probable someone might correct me here, but for a IGP backbone area I think it's common for there to be a full mesh of LSPs via either LDP, RSVP, SR etc. AS3128 is a small regional and we operate in that way across 60+ nodes. I don't know if it's common for someone with a global footprint like 1299 to have a contiguous global MPLS backbone, but the point of my reply was to say it's not impossible to think 1299 has a global MPLS mesh between major POPs. -Michael

We're clear about the fact that what we're seeing are MLPS paths - that was not in question. What we are not clear about and the reason for the post is why the provider - zayo.telia in this case - would decide to configure MPLS paths between Chicago and distant international locations. We assumed we would see hops in traceroute between Chicago and coastal locations and then hops that transited submarine infrastructure followed by hops to large population centers.

I.e. you are seeing ingressPE and egress PE ot Telia, you are not seeing any P routers. This is not esoteric knowledge, but a fairly basic Internet concept. I am worried you are missing too much context to produce actionable output from your work. It might be interesting to see your curriculum, why this confusion arose, why it seems logical that the reason must be that almost all waves are terminated there, because it would not seem logical for people practising in the field who have even cursory understanding, this implies problems in the curriculum.
