http://iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/ Grep for RIPE. > The ultimate goal is to have a list of all the AS running free > software for their routers, as I'll soon be on the look for a job > (well, it's a heuristic like another one !) The IANA list will tell you which ranges were assigned to which RIR; you'll have to query the RIR via WHOIS to determine registrant. > I'm not really familiar with the mechanisms that make the internet > tick, so if I missed a clue, or am just being awfully rude, feel free > to lart me. The IANA allocates number resources to the Regional Internet Registries, who in turn allocate to registrants in their region. See http://www.iana.org and http://www.nro.net for more information. cheers, Matt
