For example, it would be interesting to observe differences in IP-level/AS-level paths in terms of traffic locality; e.g., IPv4 paths from ASX to ASY staying inside a country while IPv6 paths are leaving it. Moreover, this visualization would help the network operators and the academic community understand the differences in IPv4 vs. IPv6 routing, on the data plane. Furthermore, some kind of statistics could be created based on the visualization (similar to the Eyeball Jedi approach (sg-pub.ripe.net/petros/eyeball-jedi) to compare country ecosystems at a larger scale. Finally, comparing the IPv4 ASN of the endpoint probes (as given by the RIPE Atlas platform) with their IPv6 ASNs, would potentially reveal native IPv6 support on the AS vs. support from IPv6 providers.

we looked into integrating traceMon into ixp-country-jedi for an earlier
code-sprint, and didn't get it to work then.

it would be great if stuff that gets developed would work for the use
case of a mesh of traceroutes (like ixp-country-jedi), and would be
integratable into an interface like ixp-country-jedi  (see
https://ripe.net/ixp-country-jedi )

the great benefit would be that you'll get visibility for the viz that
was created (people seem to like the ixp-country-jedi, and we do monthly
traceroute meshes for countries with enough probes)
