I was wondering if there is a way to collect all of the european AS numbers ?
I took a look at the RIPE website, and I found nothing close to what I
want to do.
whois(1) was not of much help either.
http://iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/
Grep for RIPE.
The ultimate goal is to have a list of all the AS running free
software for their routers, as I'll soon be on the look for a job
(well, it's a heuristic like another one !)
The IANA list will tell you which ranges were assigned to which RIR; you'll
have to query the RIR via WHOIS to determine registrant.
I'm not really familiar with the mechanisms that make the internet
tick, so if I missed a clue, or am just being awfully rude, feel free
to lart me.
The IANA allocates number resources to the Regional Internet Registries, who
in turn allocate to registrants in their region.
See http://www.iana.org and http://www.nro.net for more information.
cheers,
Matt
