An Apache module to look up routing data mod_asn is an Apache module that uses BGP routing data to look up the autonomous system (AS) and the network prefix (subnet) which contains a given (clients) IP address. mod_asn is highly scalable. To do lookups in high-speed, it uses the PostgreSQL ip4r datatype that is indexable with a Patricia Trie algorithm to store network prefixes. This is the most suitable algorithm being able to search through the ~250.000 existing prefixes in a breeze. mod_asn is usable as standalone module, and the lookup result can be used by scripts or other Apache modules. For instance, a download redirector could base its decisions on the lookup result provided by mod_asn. mod_asn is used by MirrorBrain, a download redirector and metalink generator. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Florian Effenberger <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:12:53 +0200 Subject: progress with MirrorBrain Hello, after a long time of silence, I finally have some good news to share: Thanks to the help of Stefan, Gerd and Dirk, we now have a test instance for MirrorBrain running which will be used to test and play with the system. As soon as it works as expected, we'll be giving it a try in the "live" environment. :-) I especially would like to thank Peter for his great help! He is currently working on the machine and has included countless improvements and enhancements to MirrorBrain -- thanks, everyone! Florian -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
