AS 1717 and 5511 ?

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)
1

While doing some analyzing of traffic, AS paths, etc. I saw
very often AS 1717 and 5511. ARIN doesn't show anything for 1717
in the whois database. 5511 shows as being in a block to RIPE.
Ripe shows nothing for 5511 or 1717. The address blocks seems
to be all routed to Renater.fr, who is also listed as AS1717-MNT.

Wonder how many more AS numbers are out there not listed....

Remember when querying the RIPE database, you have to specify "ASxxxx" rather
than just the number:

whois -h whois.ripe.net AS5511
aut-num: AS5511
descr: OPENTRANSIT
descr: France Telecom Reseaux et Services Internationaux

whois -h whois.ripe.net AS1717
aut-num: AS1717
descr: RENATER
descr: Reseau National de telecommunications pour la Technologie

Ahh, it wouldn't find it without the AS in front.
