Re: Visualizing BGP paths

At least in Debian and Ubuntu Linux there is a traceroute utility that
gives path ASN's.  It is ironically called traceroute-nanog.  If I do a
`traceroute-nanog -AO $destination` I get all the ASN info.

I use BGPLay for showing our connected status, but it doesn't let me put in a source IP/AS and a destination IP/AS. 
BGPlay is very helpful though.

I have been working on a project to better illustrate for our manages 
the provider path data takes when it flows from one of our customers 
to our datacenter. I have tried to use trace routes to illustrate the 
number of hops data takes, but when I try to show many sources on one 
page, it gets fairly messy quickly. I am also less concerned with the 
number of hops, and more concerned with the number of providers.
Does anyone know of a toolset that will take a list of source IP's and 
a destination IP and show graphically which as numbers the packets 
need to traverse to reach our datacenter? I am thinking of something like this:
http://www.robtex.com/as/as19629.html#graph, but instead of all the 
upstreams it would show something like AS16150 -> AS1239 -> AS209 -> 
AS19629.
