Creates a mapping from each Autonomous System Number in use to the company that owns it, and outputs the collected data to a JSON file

asn-scraper

ASNs (Autonomous System Numbers) are one of the building blocks of the Internet. This project is to create a mapping from each ASN in use to the company that owns it. For example, ASN 36375 is used by the University of Michigan - http://bgp.he.net/AS36375

Starting at http://bgp.he.net/report/world, the program will crawl and scrape the linked country reports to make a structure mapping each ASN to info about that ASN.

Sample structure:

    {3320: {'Country': 'DE',
        'Name': 'Deutsche Telekom AG',
        'Routes v4': 13547,
        'Routes v6': 268},
    36375: {'Country': 'US',
        'Name': 'University of Michigan',
        'Routes v4': 14,
        'Routes v6': 1}}

When done, the collected data will be outputted to a json file.
