The paper describes a similar approach, but using topological distances 
(e.g. AS path length, RTT). It is not perfect but more useful than 
Atlas' world-wide probe selection.

Results are weekly updated here:

We've also extended this approach to find places where deploying new 
Atlas probes would add more diversity to Atlas:
