What data would be needed? Some website where one could copy&paste
traceroutes (with tcp/ecn enabled)? A reprobe mechanism? Some
correlation/dependence mechanisms?

Something like this could be a neat experiment for RIPE Atlas. It would
be nice to have such tests in the various implementations of looking
glass, too.
