Yes, it is very interesting to me! I'm glad you're getting use out
of Qscan. It is a powerful technique and can present a lot of useful
information, especially about upstream ISPs as in your case. Thanks
for telling us about this!

Although at some point I plan to make a nuff script for Qscan, this
will not be for a while, as my lisp brain-cells are focused on another
project, one that I hope to reveal soon enough. :)

It's great to hear you're getting use out of the patch. I am not
against maintaining it for Nmap either! As you seem to find as well,
I think it is a great place for Qscan. I almost always have Nmap handy
(as I'm sure most ppl on this list), and am very used to using Nmap for
getting information about ports (duh) so it just seems natural.

I think the most important improvement would be a median filter, which
should throw out the unreasonably high data and make for faster, more
accurate Qscans.

Nmap is in a feature freeze at the moment, but once a stable version is
released I will try porting the patch.

Best of luck on your talk,

Doug
