I had a look at your map of Ebone Europe through the browse button on your
website. This displayed a messy meshy network that connected all the major
cities of Europe. However, in fact, Ebone's network was a nice clean
ringed network connecting all the major cities of Europe. It's true that
Ebone's marketing map had some innacuracies but it still more or less
showed the same network of sub-rings hanging off of a core ring.

Maybe you´re referring to the physical topology. Rocketfuel measured
the IP topology.

I just don't see how an outside probe can determine the true topology of a
network.

Maybe not to 100% but definetly more than most ISP´s are handing out.
