That's a good idea. Maybe we can take it a step further: let each AS owner register an IP address with IANA or their RIR, and use this test box to ping the AS owner. It should be scalable -- there are only about 20k ASs, as I recall. The real expense, other than the single box per RIR, is developing the software that lets each AS register an IP address and an email address to contact if the pings fail.
You mean something like: http://www.ris.ripe.net/debogon/debogon.html?
Addresses are for each /8 that the RIPE NCC gets from IANA, they are announced from the day we get them from IANA until the time we start allocating from this /8.
