Hi,

Does anyone know of a webservice that converts a given IP into the
public CIDR range that belongs to?  I am developing a tool where IP to
CIDR conversion based on RIR whois data would be useful for implementing
filtersets.


WHOIS?

Alternatively, use the Team Cymru tool to find the AS, then the CIDR Report
portal to determine all perfixes originated by the AS in question:

http://asn.cymru.com/

Looks like their WHOIS server in verbose mode will do the trick for what
I want, as it provides predictable output.  Thank you.

there's also the lightish weight routeviews DNS zone data:
$ host -W 6 -R 10 -t txt 50.35.2.128.asn.routeviews.org
50.35.2.128.asn.routeviews.org descriptive text "9" "128.2.0.0" "16"

128.2.35.50 lives in 128.2.0.0/16 from ASN9
