Hi HN,

I’ve been working on a side project called ipiphistory.com.

It’s a searchable explorer for:

– ASN relationships (provider / peer / customer) – BGP route history – IP to ASN mapping over time – AS path visibility – Organization and geolocation data

The idea started from my frustration when explaining BGP concepts to junior engineers and students — most tools are fragmented across multiple sources (RouteViews, RIPE RIS, PeeringDB, etc.).

This project aggregates and indexes historical routing data to make it easier to:

– Understand how ASNs connect – Explore real-world routing behavior – Investigate possible hijacks or path changes – Learn BGP using real data

It’s still early and I’d really appreciate feedback from the HN community — especially on usability and features you’d like to see.

Happy to answer technical questions about data ingestion and indexing as well.
