as2org-rs: Access CAIDA AS-to-Organization mappings in Rust
This crate provides a small, dependency-light helper for reading and querying
CAIDA's AS Organizations dataset. It downloads (or opens a local/remote path)
the newline-delimited JSON (JSONL) files published by CAIDA and exposes a
simple API to:
- Fetch the latest dataset URL from CAIDA
- Load the dataset into memory
- Look up information for a given ASN
- Find all "sibling" ASNs that belong to the same organization
- Test whether two ASNs are siblings (belong to the same org)
The crate supports local files, HTTP(S) URLs, and gz-compressed inputs via
the `oneio` crate.
### Installation
Add the dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
as2org-rs = "1"
```
### Data source
- CAIDA AS Organizations Dataset: <http://www.caida.org/data/as-organizations>
### Data model
Public return type:
`As2orgAsInfo` contains:
- `asn`: the AS number
- `name`: the name provided for the individual AS number
- `country_code`: the registration country code of the organization
- `org_id`: the CAIDA/WHOIS organization identifier
- `org_name`: the organization's name
- `source`: the RIR or NIR database that contained this entry
### Quickstart
Load the most recent dataset and run typical queries:
```rust
use as2org_rs::As2org;
// Construct from the latest public dataset (requires network access)
let as2org = As2org::new(None).unwrap();
// Look up one ASN
let info = as2org.get_as_info(15169).unwrap();
assert_eq!(info.org_id.is_empty(), false);
// List all siblings for an ASN (ASNs under the same org)
let siblings = as2org.get_siblings(15169).unwrap();
// Check whether two ASNs are siblings
assert!(as2org.are_siblings(15169, 36040));
```
### Offline and custom input
You can also point to a local file path or a remote URL (HTTP/HTTPS), gzipped
or plain:
```rust
use as2org_rs::As2org;
// From a local jsonl.gz file
let as2org = As2org::new(Some("/path/to/20250101.as-org2info.jsonl.gz".into())).unwrap();
// From an explicit HTTPS URL
let as2org = As2org::new(Some("https://publicdata.caida.org/datasets/as-organizations/20250101.as-org2info.jsonl.gz".into())).unwrap();
```
### Errors
Constructors and helper functions return `anyhow::Result<T>`. For lookups,
the API returns `Option<_>` when a requested ASN or organization is missing.
### Notes
- Network access is only required when you pass `None` to `As2org::new` so the
crate can discover and fetch the latest dataset URL.
- Dataset files can be large; loading them will allocate in-memory maps for
fast queries.
- This crate is not affiliated with CAIDA. Please review CAIDA's data usage
policies before redistribution or heavy automated access.
