LinkRank Data

Directory Listing For /

http://linkrank.cs.ucla.edu/data/rv/


LinkRank Data
LinkRank visualization client needs data in the form of link-rank changes. Thus any BGP update log first needs to be processesd using a back end module to produce link-rank change information. The back end can work with any BGP data containing logs of update messages with complete AS path information. For the current version we provide processed data from University of Oregon's RouteViews project. We are in the process of including data from other collectors and it will be available soon. Please refer to the users guide on how to download and organize the data available from here.
University of Oregon's RouteViews
RouteViews has several monitoring points each of which connects to BGP routers in various autonomous systems. At present we are including the data collected from the Oregon Collector only and others will be added soon. Data for each of Oregon collector's peer is available on both a daily and monthly basis.

Net::Abuse::Utils - Routines useful for processing network abuse

Net::Abuse::Utils provides serveral functions useful for determining information about an IP address including contact/reporting addresses, ASN/network info, reverse dns, and DNSBL listing status.
FUNCTIONS
The following functions are exportable from this module. You may import all of them into your namespace with the :all tag.
get_asn_info ( IP )
Returns a list containing (ASN, Network/Mask, CC code, RIR, modified date) for the network announcing IP.
get_as_description ( ASN )
Returns the AS description for ASN.
get_soa_contact( IP )
Returns the SOA contact email address for the reverse DNS /24 zone containing IP.
get_ipwi_contacts( IP )
Returns a list of all email addresses found in whois information for IP with duplicates removed.
get_rdns( IP )
Returns the reverse PTR for IP.
get_dnsbl_listing( IP, DNSBL zone )
Returns the listing text for IP for the designated DNSBL. DNSBL zone should be the zone used for looking up addresses in the blocking list.
get_ip_country( IP )
Returns the 2 letter country code for IP.
get_asn_country( ASN )
Returns the 2 letter country code for ASN.
get_abusenet_contact ( domain )
Returns the abuse.net listed contact email addresses for domain.
is_ip ( IP )
Returns true if IP looks like an IP, false otherwise.

Paris traceroute

Paris traceroute

What is Paris traceroute?
Paris traceroute is a new version of the well-known network diagnosis and measurement tool.
Why should you use Paris traceroute?Because traceroute fails in the presence of routers that employ load balancing on packet header fields. The failures lead to the discovery of inaccurate and incomplete paths, that may mislead operators during problem diagnosis and result in erroneous internet maps.Paris traceroute, by controling packet header contents, obtains a more precise picture of the actual routes that packets follow.For a quick demonstration, look at the figure on the right. Suppose you are trying to measure the route between Src and Dst. The true router topology is shown on the left. L is a router that balances load on two paths, via routers A or C. The middle of the figure shows what you might see with classic traceroute. The right part is what you would get with Paris traceroute...

BGP Origin ASN
BGP Peer ASN
BGP Prefix
Prefix Country Code (assigned)
Prefix Registry (assigned)
Prefix Allocation date
ASN Country Code (assigned)
ASN Registry (assigned)
ASN Allocation date
ASN Description

The country code, registry, and allocation date are all based off of data obtained directly from the regional registries including: ARIN, RIPE, AFRINIC, APNIC, LACNIC. The information returned relating to these categories will only be as accurate as the data present in the RIR databases. The exact links for each of the datasets are as follows:

ftp.arin.net/pub/stats/arin/delegated-arin-latest
ftp.ripe.net/ripe/stats/delegated-ripencc-latest
ftp.afrinic.net/pub/stats/afrinic/delegated-afrinic-latest
ftp.apnic.net/pub/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-latest
ftp.lacnic.net/pub/stats/lacnic/delegated-lacnic-latest

The ASN descriptions are based off of data obtained from cidr-report.
Following is a brief summary on how to use each of the services.
