Hi.
Thanks for the prompt response. Actually our requirement is to find a
webhosting provider whose routes are widely advertised locally and
regionally. This is why I thought of using bgp as a basis studying the
availability of routes of the hosting provider.

Hi!
Dont mix up peering and transit connections!
That you dont see that route on a lookingglass doesnt mean much. Only Could
tell you they dont transit there.
Its all depending what you definiëren with available routes.
If i peer with all ISP's in a specific area and your looking glass isnt licated
there does that mean its bad? You need to know much more. If your customers are
local there its even prefered.
Its never that black/white ...its depending on your needs!
Thanks,

Hi!
We're currently evaluating web hosting providers in the APAC region and one of
the criteria that we are currently considering is the availability of routes
going to the web hosting provider.
In this regard, I would like to ask for your idea regarding this. Is it safe
to conclude that the web hosting provider's available routes would would depend
on the peers who are advertising their AS / network? (i.e if web hosting
provider claims that they are peering with telco a, b, c but as seen from a
third party looking glass, only C is seen advertising the web hosting provider
network that would mean web hosting provider is effectively utilizing c as
their upstream??)
Thanks.
