[nsp] AS info in traceroutes

[Ejay Hire]

here are a couple of ways you could get that data.
 
1. Recieve a full bgp table and match the most specific route and then look at the rightmost ASN in the AS path.
2. Same as a except using real time data from route-views.oregon-ix.net <mailto:route-views at oregon-ix.net> 
3. Same as above except using downloadable historcal data from route-views.oregon-ix.net <mailto:route-views at oregon-ix.net>  or merit.edu
 
Good Luck,
ejay

Yes, I would think so.  I just did a traceroute from a router that wasn't bgp aware and the ASNs were not there, but they were there when I did a traceroute from a bgp aware router.

all,
 
I am looking into how a Cisco router is able to provide AS resolution in a traceroute. 
I am trying to write a traceroute program and would like to include that info in my own traces. Would I have to have a BGP table of my own on the server to get the info?
 
looking for suggestions, 
Thanks,
Jim
