traceroute -A  consults the internet routing registry which is know
to beincomplete and at times incorrect when it comes to IP to
BGP origin AS mapping. For this reason we developed riswhois.ripe.net,
a whois style interface to the BGP data collected by RIPE NCC's Routing
information service (http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/stats/ris)

Reporting in the same format as the IRR, riswhois is plugin
compatible with whois.radb.net. If your linux traceroutederives
from http://traceroute.sourceforge.net/ all it takes to switch to
using true BGP info in traceroute is setting the environment variable
RA_SERVER to "riswhois.ripe.net"

P.S. the LFT tool metioned earlier in this thread can also use RISwhois
to lookup ASNs; just pass it the -r option on the command line.
