Hey Lars,

We're already doing something similar to this on our collectors, in collaboration with CAIDA.  Feel free to contact me 
off list if you're interested.

And you can also use ripe atlas as well. If you need credits ask on that list and people offer them up regularly and 
quickly.

Hi Lars,

You should check out https://ring.nlnog.net/ by contributing resources yourself you also get access to a wide array 
of machines from all across the world you can use to turn traceroutes and pings.

Some wrappers have already been made to run commands against multiple machines at the same time 
(https://ring.nlnog.net/toolbox/), you'll have SSH access to run any commands you want and there is an API to find 
the probes if you want to automate it all.

I encourage anyone and everyone to join. The more networks the better!

Hi everyone,

In the next couple of months, I want to compare data plane and control 
plane measurements on a larger scale. In particular, I'm looking for 
(publicly accessible) devices that receive BGP feeds and can perform a 
bunch of automated (paris) traceroutes. I currently do not have an exact 
probing rate or target set in mind; however, I'm sure that manually 
entering IP addresses as targets for usual Looking glasses won't cut it. 
Does anyone know less-restricted (maybe even automatable?) Looking 
Glasses (or similar devices) or is willing to provide access to one?

BTW: I though about picking Atlas probes from ASes that feed BGP 
Collector Projects (e.g. RIPE RIS or RouteViews). Unfortunately, the 
respective probes are often really far apart from the feeding routers; 
thus, their individual perspectives are likely misaligned :(

Best regards,

Lars
