Avleen,
I want to create a mapping of IP addresses to ASN, for a specific like of IP addresses. Eg: 1.2.3.4 12.34.56.78
etc, gathered from my system logs.
What is the best way of doing this?
I thought about something along the lines of: install routing software (zebra?) pass software the IP's, get it to spit back a string from which I can grab the ASN
Starting from the routing table is indeed the best approach. We recently studied this problem and found that an approach based on whois queries to an IRR only returns the correct result in ~80% of the cases, whereas using routing tables returns the correct result in ~99% of the cases. See: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-46/presentations/ripe46-tt-as-tracero... for more details. We're expanding the software used for this study into a public service right now and hope to announce this to the public shortly.
