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?

perhaps you might want to ask the Q ins the Networking (General) Topic area.  Chances are there might be somebody who might have the practical solution for your need.

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.
