Autonomous System Number ASN Extension for The Webalizer

Init Seven AG has developed an extension of The Webalizer called 'webalizer-asn', that supports AS number (Autonomous System Number) lookups to generate additional statistics based on the origin of the hosts that have visited a website.

The AS number identifies the AS (Autonomous System) a host is belonging to. An Autonomous System is a group of IP networks operated by one or more network operator/s which has a single and clearly defined external routing policy. (See RFC1930 for more information about AS numbers.)

It is useful for high-traffic sites and ISPs when they know from which networks the visitors are coming from. For example they can plan future peerings or other things based on this information.
