way to get this info. Cisco routers do this by default.
Only when that router is running full tables.
When traceroute is run from routers that aren't running BGP, you
just get hostnames/times.
I'd suspect that the only way to get traceroute with ASN's is when the
machine you're coming from (cisco routers, for example) know the tables.
There is a "public" cisco at route-server.cerf.net - telnet there and
traceroute out
