public class ASUtilities
extends Object

This is a utility class which has mainly two static methods; one is to return a country name from IP Address, another is to return AS number from IP Address. Perl scripts are used for resolving the country name and AS number. "ip2country.pl" is to resolve the country name. This script is called by ipToCountry(String ipAddr) method. On the other hand, two perl scripts are required when this class resolves the AS number. It cannot return the AS number without running the perl as_paths_dNew.pl daemon script. It is provided as another package. How to use is as follows;

 0. extracts ASPATHS.tgz
 1. run as follows
       %./as_paths_dNew.pl tmp/*
           reading database....
           database has been read.
           aut-num -- 10032  import --  30346  route -- 260152 origin --  260148 Lines = 3588540, Ignored = 2688963
            ^Z
           Suspended
       %bg
          [1]    ./as_paths_dNew.pl tmp/alltel.db tmp/altdb.db tmp/ans.db tmp/aoltw.db  ... &
 

Then, "as_paths_cN.pl" is called from ipToASNumber(String ipAddr) and the AS number is resolved through those perl scripts.
