Example : https://burdantes.github.io/cdn_facility_evol_timeseries.html

Double click on Yahoo to select that trace. It states that Yahoo only
exists in 2 interconnection facilities since December of 2023. Now take a
look at PeeringDB : https://www.peeringdb.com/net/27 . We're in a lot more
than 2, and have been for at least a decade, maybe two.

My assumption is that the author likely used one of our OTHER ASNs in
PeeringDB , not AS10310 which is our primary one.

If *my* data displayed is so wildly incorrect, it's fair to question how
accurate the data may or may not be for anyone else.
