Country Level BGP Data
Does anyone know of BGP statistical data based on country? If I wanted to know top 5 service providers in country XYZ based on number of BGP peers for example, is there something that can tell me this information? I can manually run a list of AS numbers against tools like Renesys for example but someone has probably already done this? Thanks, Paul

PCH has this internally, but the AS-to-country mappings are pretty fluid, so we don't hand it out without a lot of caveats... Otherwise policymakers would take it way more seriously than it should be taken, since they love them some rankings. If people generally think we should publish it every day, we'd be willing to, provided we think people are cognizant of the risks of policy folks misusing it. Or marketing folks. Or whatever. Otherwise, email me or Gaurab or Jonny, and we'll set you up with a current listing for whatever countries you're interested in. -Bill
