This project exists to serve as an internal IP information API for other services. By following routing table updates, it can have a real direct view of IP-to-AS mappings, and IP-to-announcement mappings showing netblock size. External WHOIS and geojs lookups (aggressively cached locally) augment this data further.

Thus, this app can be consulted via API by our own internal services to outsource IP intelligence.

The README Rationale section now says why RouteWatch exists, from the words above: #209

The geojs lookups are left out, because they are not built yet.

Model: opus-5-5
