idem, and has a high smiley count.

Actually I think the NCC should keep on running this and other services,
because I have an explicit need to keep track of several large scale 
operational matters and we have an established trust and feedback mechanism
in place from me (a LIR, RIPE member and TTM customer) to the folks at the 
NCC, eg it is a company that I fully trust to do these measurements in a 
proper manner. (I do not know anybody at Caida)
