Re: Any info on devices that are running eBGP on the Internet?

Hi, 

What you could consider is asking a few of the major internet exchanges if they'd be so kind to send you a list of MAC 
addresses seen on their LANs. Based on the MAC you can determine the manufacturer. If you have three or four big ones, 
you have a decent sample size as most larger networks are on multiple IXes anyway. 

If you do compile a list, I'm sure this list would be interested in the results :) 

Thanks, 

Sabri
