This is a hard problem. Internet tomography aside (an even harder problem), route-servers and looking glasses everywhere expressly forbid automation, and any network administrator, virtually anywhere, can break your reachability testing. Add to this the myriad complications of BGP selectivity (Why do people insist that "net neutrality" is in danger when it never existed as stated?), and network operator participation becomes almost unavoidable.

While I understand that tools such as http://www.internettrafficreport.com and http://internetpulse.keynote.com are not enough, it isn't at all clear to me how any single actor could provide better monitoring. I admit this sounds pessimistic, but I've thought deeply about this and similar topics for many years, and I'm all too familiar with the obstacles to (and poor architecture underlying) Internet polling.

However, I do see a clear need for aggregated monitoring data--many sources, re-published succinctly in one easy-to-find place--and I would certainly donate to such a cause.

Yes indeed, that's what I noticed too and if I can do it with existing sources, just presenting them in a cleaner way that's definitely what I will do. I don't want to re-invent the wheel, just do as much as I can to make the information available.

About the routing part other people mentioned https://atlas.ripe.net/ which seems to be doing a very good job at that thanks to their 4000 probes distributed across the world, If I can use their data it'll already solve a good part of the equation.

Thanks for your feedback jonny_storm!
