Also, don't run it as an automated tool, unless you tweak the source to use your local radb mirror.

I'm certain in many cases it isn't. Since many OPs dont'e ven know about RADB, and RADB charges for ability to register and update. How much? $250/yr. That's buried on their 'about' page. Why? I don't know, terrible site design though. Who goes into an 'about' page looking for billing information or fee schedules or price lists.

I believe the author of LFT is working on a new release that does *not* use
the oft-times incorrect radb data, but instead pulls from a router (not sure
of the source) somewhere.

AltDB is, well, an alternative RR.

Is there any new development happening with the NANOG traceroute project?

A 4th option would be the Routeviews DNS based mapping service
at asn.routeviews.org. See --

  An advantage here is that you get caching for free.
