Hi Roman,

We are experimenting with how to visualize large amounts of
traceroutes. In the Labs article you mention I wrote about how this is
done for the IPv6 traceroutes that were done through the LIR-only
interface for this at:
https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/ipv6_traces.html
So that is currently only available for these measurements.

An example of the visualization for ns.ripe.net can be found here:
http://albatross.ripe.net/cgi-bin/demo-area/v6reach.cgi?msm_id=1002799;nonce=2bb398946c5513d966e84182027fc20eaa941e6a204812c3349b769fb55ec503;no_embed=1

For other traceroute measurements there are no other results currently
other then the JSON-downloads and the table with unformatted JSON
results. Having that available as something plain-text to read (for
when you have small amounts of traceroute data), is a good suggestion
I think.
