Internet NAP/NSP & TraceRoute
I need information about the latest NAP (Network Access Point), NSP (Network Servie Point), and the TraceRoute performance.
How many NAP now? Where is the map?
From TraceRoute programs, I found that the visual trace result in doubt. For example, where I used a TraceRoute from Hong Kong to U.S.A., it gave me a straight line from HK to somewhere in U.S.A. without going through NSP/NAP/NSP etc. Where to find the proof for internet traffic routing?

traceroute should give you a rought (personal opinion) on how the traffic from one point (yours) to the remote point. And I have to agree with ahoffman's that the route is not always the "same".
cheers.
