[afnog] Should the Facebook's, Google , Amazon's of this world operate a BGP looking glass

[Peter Ehiwe]

Hi Mark ,

Thanks for your response .

Yes ,  they do not have any looking glass URL on peeringdb and i have asked
NOC teams while troubleshooting similar issues  and they confirm to me they
dont have one setup .

Secondly ,  i agree with you that they are not obliged to provide a public
looking glass, but having one available will be beneficial to the internet
community and will also be beneficial to their operations.
