AS15701

We are a LIR now – a Local Internet Registry

Every company that wants to participate in the global routing game needs to have a so-called AS number. AS stands for autonomous system and uniquely identifies one or more networks that is controlled by a common network operator. So: hello world, we are AS15701!

The RIPE NCC (Réseaux IP Européens, Network Coordination Center) is the regional authority that hands out IP addresses and AS numbers to ISPs in Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. In order to get detailed information about who owns which network, you can query RIPE’s whois database. It provides all the necessary attributes that are needed to contact people of other networks in order to resolve problems. For example, our record looks like this:

# whois AS15701
    % This is the RIPE Database query service.
    % The objects are in RPSL format.

    % The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions.
    % See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf
