Extra AS names

Hi,

I noticed that several AS names were missing from your database.
Please do find a `|`-delimited file hereby attached that gives you the organization names for the ones that I could find.

Grtz,
Steven

Hello Steven,

Some of the RIRs do (did?) not publish the AS names, so we are missing ARIN and LACNIC.

For ARIN we have a patch under review:

Thank you. What is the source of this file?

I wrote a small script to check what AS numbers there were used in the network nodes and compared these to all available AS names. This gave me a list of about 16.300 AS numbers.

This I ran through a webcrawl of "https://asrank.caida.org/asns/..." to get the information which is contained in the csv file.

However, it'd be much nicer (and kinder to asranks site) if there is already some kind of aggregation file available online that could be parsed.

I believe that this problem is finally solved as we now import all names from ARIN. Please re-open if there is anything else missing.
