ASN registry?

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)
1

I've always used whois.arin.net to check ASN registrations, and until now
it's always had information on those that I've checked.
It doesn't have anything for 1221, which according to
route-views.oregon-ix.net is Telstra. Is there a single complete database
that has ASN assignment info?

Well, when I can't find it quickly, I usually check RIPE, as the RIPE
whois will tell you which region the ASN is delegated to, and which
registrar to check with. And according to RIPE, 1221 is most definitely in
the lower range controlled by ARIN. No idea why ARIN doesn't have a record
for it...they only carry records for ASN 16779, which is Telstra-USA.

I noticed that as well. But a quick google shows that Telstra is most
definitely AS1221. Maybe they forgot to renew one of their AS Numbers?

Interesting. So then, how did that happen?

Is that just a general mess at the top where, in general, ARIN is in
charge but not always? Or just a special situation?

Was most likely allocated before APNIC was in existence.
