Re: your mail

Hi Chris, 

Yes, ldmping is a nice utility, traceroute gives a nice snaphot, MTR
(Matt's traceroute) is an open source program, can be found easily with a
a search if not already installed, and it is a dynamic traceroute giving
reports back every 5 seconds (default can be modified)....

And looking at I2 and vBNS routing maps..

I would try San Jose State, U of A, Utah, UCAR, San Diego...

Let me know if I can help further,

-Jeff
