I get responses from whois.arin.net for all but AS5400. 2855 and 9057 are handled by RIPE, but I still get a listing for the AS ranges assigned to RIPE. For 11486 I get: >whois -h whois.arin.net 11486 Worldcom Advance Networks (ASN-WAN) 1945 Old Gallows Road Vienna, VA 22182-3931 US Autonomous System Name: WAN Autonomous System Number: 11486 For 5400, the first time I got: >whois -h whois.arin.net 5400 Sorry, you shouldn't see this record. The ARIN Registration Services Host contains ONLY Internet [SNIP] but the second time I tried (some six minutes later) I got: >whois -h whois.arin.net 5400 European Regional Internet Registry/RIPE NCC (ASN-RIPE-ASNBLOCK5-ASNBLOCK) These ASNs have been further assigned to European users. Their contact information can be found in the RIPE database. See below how to use that database to obtain up-to-date information. Autonomous System Name: RIPE-ASNBLOCK5 Autonomous System Block: 5377 - 5631 Doesn't seem normal, since this is the first time I've ever seen that type of behavior. -- Joseph W.
