Hello Baldur,
if I'm not wrong, CAIDA are using Route Views and RIPE NCC RIS as data sources. If your AS (or any ASes in your customer cone) is not feeding any BGP route collector, your peers will never appear in their rank. Some of your peers may be seen if any of your peers are connected to a route collector though. Data available is extremely incomplete from that point of view... If you wish to have more reliable data from BGP analyzers using public data, I suggest you to join a collector. I run one of them (Isolario), if you need any more details about that (or about the data incompleteness) just drop me a mail!

Best regards,
Alessandro Improta

The number of peers appears to be unreliable. My network is listed
with 14 peers but the actual number is much higher.

Bill is correct. AS Rank’s ranks by customer cone, not peers.
Although you can get an ASN’s list of peers. We are currently
working on adding country level ranking  to AS Rank, but will not
have it ready until next year.

http://as-rank.caida.org/ is impressively showing ranking of ISPs
and how well peered they are

No, it’s by how many customers they have.

"ASes and Orgs are ranked by their customer cone size, which is
the number of their direct and indirect customers.”

Nothing to do with their peering.
