Members of an as-set
by Seiler Hanspeter 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hi The "members:" of an "as-set" describes a single AS number or another as-set, which again can include other as-sets as members and so on. How can I figure out all AS numbers behind an as-set, wich contains as-sets as members? Is there any clever command in the RIPE NCC Whois DB available or exists a tool to get out this info from the DB? Many thanks and best regards Hanspeter Hanspeter Seiler Service Development Engineer __________________________________________________ SOLPA AG Monbijoustrasse 6 3011 Bern Phone +41 (0)31 544 44 00 Direct +41 (0)31 544 44 16 Fax +41 (0)31 544 44 09 mailto:hanspeter.seiler@solpa.ch www.solpa.ch SOLPA - Your partner for electronic communications __________________________________________________ The information in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
