 Here are some hints and recipes to implement a server that maps IP prefixes with AS numbers based on BGP information.
-==== Basic Steps ====
+==== -- Basic Steps ====
 Start by downloading raw BGP data collected by RIPE NCC servers from http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/stats/ris/ris-raw-data. For example, the latest data file from RRC0 (Amsterdam) is always available on http://data.ris.ripe.net/rrc00/latest-bview.gz.

-Use any scripting language to perform a best prefix match and output the origin AS of your desired IP prefix.
+Here is a typical line in the dumped file, where you can see the prefix ''148.60.0.0/16'' and the AS-PATH ending by the originating AS ''2200''.
+<code>
+TABLE_DUMP2|1389513606|B|85.132.60.10|29049|148.60.0.0/16|29049 1273 2200|IGP|85
+.132.60.10|0|0|1273:12250 2200:1000 2200:2200|NAG||
+</code>
+Now you can use your favorite scripting language to extract IP to AS mappings and perform a best prefix match.
+==== -- Software Tools ====
+Fortunately, existing software tools may help you in the process of implementing you own BGP-based IP to AS mapping service. Consider taking a look at:
+  - [[http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TPODER/Net-NfDump-0.12/examples/download_asn_db | Net-NfDump]]: a perl library that makes use of the [[http://search.cpan.org/~tpoder/Net-IP-LPM-0.02/ | Net::IP::LPM]] implementation of Longest Prefix Match algorithm.
+  - [[https://github.com/CIRCL/IP-ASN-history | IP-ASN-history]]: a client/server (with a client web interface) software to store efficiently the history of BGP announces and quickly lookup IP addresses origins.
+  - [[http://pwhois.org/server.who | pwhois]]: a client/server software that makes use of a PostgreSQL database to store routing information. FIXME Did not succeed to install it on Mac OS X 10.9.1.
