I think RIPE is 62/8, 193/8, 194/7, 212/7. try these on your unix box: whois -h whois.radb.net x.x.x.x whois -h whois.cw.net x.x.x.x whois -h whois.apnic.net x.x.x.x whois -h whois.arin.net x.x.x.x whois -h whois.ripe.net x.x.x.x you can even try to whois AS numbers by using ASN instead of the IP address. e.g. whois -h whois.radb.net AS3561 it would return the entity on which the IP addresses are assigned including contact persons and numbers. Whois on ASN would also return peer-ASes and policies. I've been querying them but it seems Philippine objects are not always updated. for a listing of route servers and looking glasses where you can traceroute and do BGP queries , try this www.traceroute.org hope this helps!
