Since probes are running measurements to many targets already, the full 
dataset will uncover a lot without having to run more measurements.

A quick query: 
https://gist.github.com/sdstrowes/e9d4a3c7c03dd1aafa3198333cc39ffa

Out of ~106M IPv4 traceroutes, this finds ~6M that contain 10.0.0.0/8 in 
an ICMP response more than 4 hops from the origin. That's not the 
smartest approach, but it's a good ballpark of what's in the data.

It'd be reasonably easy to take that and whittle it down to a set of 
probes and/or probe ASNs that see this. With more work it'd be possible 
to identify ASNs on the forward path as a strong hint (asymmetric 
routing to one side) of where these pass through.
