Calculating an ASNs IP Space

I couldn’t think of a good easy way to save a bunch of telnet addresses so I’m just going to blog them. I’m using BGP tables to calculate the theoretical IP space a given ASN has. I parse the table and use the CIDR notation to calculate how big the space can be and then […]
