I like that idea. I've set up a short script grabbing pingable
addresses out of the RIPE registry and sending out some echo requests
every hour (that often probably just for the first few days). The
results may be seen at http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/~strauss/ipng/stats.html.
Note that TU-BS is one of the leaf sites with just one default
tunnel. Therefore our values are not very representative for US
residents, for example.
