i am not aware of any research effort using atlas or atlas style
technology which measures traffic as opposed to topology, reachability,
and content.

folk such as renesys (their dyn incarnation is less sinful) repeatedly
misused the word 'traffic' when, in fact, all they were measuring was
bgp.  we should not repeat that mistake when using technology such as
atlas probes.

[inter provider] traffic measurement at scale is a researcher unicorn.
