What is the as number in BGP?

What is an example of an ASN number?

An ASN number (autonomous system number) is a standard way to identify a company on the Internet. It starts with something called a "factory code," which is usually the name of the company followed by a 5-digit number. An example of a factory code is:

Company Name: Dell Inc. The 5-digit number following the "Company Name:" tag is a stock number that Dell's system generated for it. If the ASN number you have matches one of these factory codes, you know you're dealing with Dell.

You can find information about an ASN at the Network Solutions Web site: < For more information on how to determine an ASN's company name and stock number, see the section labeled "How do I find out a company's ASN?". ### Understanding the DNS. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a networked mechanism that helps network computers find other computers on the Internet. The main function of DNS is to translate human-friendly names, like www.microsoft.com

Into meaningful IP addresses, such as. 55.200.20

This is done so that people and computers can talk to each other without getting hung up on different words. Imagine that you are on vacation in Paris and visit a friend at her house. Her name may be Renata. You use the name Renata to search for her on the Internet. The next time she comes on the phone, she will know where to find you. To reach her, you need a mechanism like DNS so that she knows how to look for you on the Internet. The DNS name for Renata's house is

Renata.vendorsharedhost.com

You need to find the machine that Renata's computer talks to so that she knows how to get there. Instead of typing her name in at the Web browser, however, she types in the name of her computer instead. Let's say that her computer is named theodore. Her name, Renata, becomes the address where she looks for the information:

Www.com Once the domain name of the machine theodore.

What is the as number in BGP?

I understand what the route-target is. I was under the impression that the as number referred to the path of the BGP peering link. If this is the case then how does a customer get their peering information?

The answer to your question is "we don't really know." We call it the as number because it's used to identify the prefix/as in our tables. The as number is the same regardless of the source of the route, it doesn't refer to the path of the peering link.

Is there a document that defines what the as number is for? The as number in BGP is not a routing protocol metric, it is a parameter used by some vendors to identify routes that are imported into their own routing table. The best way to explain it is to give a simple example: A has 10.0/24 network and peers with a different AS (AS123456).

B has 10.0/24 network and peers with a different AS (AS123457).

C has 10.0/24 network and peers with the same AS (AS123456).

If A receives a BGP UPDATE with an AS from 123456, then the BGP UPDATE will have a Route Target of 0.0/0, which means "take the route you just received and insert it into the table at this location."

Now, if B receives a BGP UPDATE with an AS from 123456, then the BGP UPDATE will have a Route Target of 10.0/24, which means "insert this route into the table at this location, but not in the same area as the route I just received.

What is the ASN number of an IP address?

I have a question: When you have a CIDR-Range of an IP address, is there an easy way to find out which ASN the IP address belongs to?

An IP address (and most other things) is an identifier, not an ASN. It's a string of bits that identify a certain block of network. There is no "ASN" for an IP address. That said, it is possible to use routing tables to identify the ASN that a given IP address belongs to.

If you know the IP range, you can try looking at ARIN's database of IP ranges for your ISP or Google's IPv4 Ranges from Google.
