I had been having a similar thought - root crap does not necessarily ==
AS112 crap, but there's a pretty strong and clear crap signal arriving
at AS112, and it ought to be at least possible to measure and infer any
relation between the two as a first step.

As the loose co-ordinator of the AS112 project, OARC has been looking
recently at ways of improving measurement of the aforementioned crap
signal. If you are a large IXP or eyeball-ISP operator who would like to
co-operate with OARC on operating and/or data-gathering AS112 nodes,
we'd love to hear from you.
