--- name: "asused" section: "3pm" platform: "linux" package: "asused" version: "3.72-14" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/asused" --- # asused(3pm) summaries address space used and according to the RIPE DB and REG. ## NAME asused - summaries address space used and according to the RIPE DB and REG. ## SYNOPSIS **asused** \[**--all**\] \[**--aw** \| **--approval**\] \[**--overlap**\] \[**--status** \| **--assign**\[**--pipa**\] \] *regid* **asused** \[**--all**\] \[**--aw** \| \[**--approval**\] \[**--overlap**\] \[**--status** \| **--assign** \[**--pipa**\] \] \[**--regid** *regid*\] (*prefix* ...) **asused** \[--**\\] *regid* \| prefix ## DESCRIPTION **asused** is a tool to summaries address space is registered in the RIPE database. For each allocated inetnum object a summary of used and free address space is printed. A grant total summary for all prefixes is also provided. If there are no errors in locating allocations and and assignments under an allocation. In in the total % are calculated on total allocations. where: *regid* is name of registry as in registry database. *prefix* is allocation as in whois database. e.g. a.b.c/16 . Prefix is queried whois DB to find all Less specific matches inetnum with *na* as netname is interpreted as allocation and summerize the allocation. ## OPTIONS - **--assign** print all assignments under allocations, size, date and net name . Summary of assignments. And free address space. Summary of status attribute. - **--all** this same as three options **--overlap** **--status** **--aw**. - **--approval** Check the all networks in allocations are valid or not. Print valid and invalid networks. **--aw** only print invalid networks. - **--aw** Check the all networks in allocations are valid or not. Print only Invalid networks. **--approval** will print valid and invalid. - **--contacts** print admin-c/tech-c for all inetnums - **--help** Shows the usage of **asused**. - **--overlap** print the details of overlapping assignments. Summary of overlap per assignment is printed at the end. - **--reg** *regid*. regid to locate the allocation. Netname of allocation is same as regid, translating the first '.' to '-' IN upper case. If not specified uses i2r to get regid. - **--status** show assignments under allocations with wrong status attribute other than ASSIGNED PA or PI. **MISSING** for missing status. size and net name. Summary of assignments. No of Assignment(s) , No Assignments with status ASSIGNED PA or ASSIGNED PI, No Assignments with status **ASSIGNED PI**,No Assignments, No Assignments with Missing status attribute,No Assignments with other values status attribute, none of other . Warnings on assignments. ## OTHER OPTIONS - **as3-option** - **--port** *port* query another whois server on the *port*. Default is 43. - **--host** *whoishost* query another whois server. Default is whois.ripe.net. Can query only to RIPE whois server. Server version tested '2.1' - **--na** *netname* show event table for approval of *netname*. Used with **--aw** or **--approval** - **-pipa** additional flag to the **--assign** option to print allocation status in output. PA is for ALLOCATED PA, PI - ALLOCATED PI, UN for UNSPECIFED, **--** is for missed **status** field. - **--version** print version of asused. ## DIAGNOSTICS - **No allocations from reg** Could not locate any allocations in use from registry. - **No allocations from DB** No inetnum object was recognized as allocation in the RIPE Database. - **% No entries found for the selected source(s).** No assignment(s) found under the allocation. May be a new allocation or allocation which has no objects in RIPE DB. Not sure to treat as 100 % free. - **ERROR MISMATCH Netname regid** RIPE DB **Netame** attribute has mismatch with *na* or regid. - **ERROR STATUS** May be incorrect status attribute in the RIPE DB, Valid status ALLOCATED (PA\|PI\|UNSPECIFIED) - **ERROR mnt-by**Invalid \ attribute in RIPE DB expecting RIPE-NCC-MNT\|RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT\|RIPE-NCC-HM-PI-MNT - **Inconsistent with** ***inetnum*** Encountered two inetnum objects with same logical start and end. Logical interpretation of inetnum a.b.c.0 =\> a.b.c.0 - a.b.c.255; a.b.c.0 - a.b.d.0 =\> a.b.c.0 - a.b.d.255 - **Classfull notation** Intrepreted as class full object. Check if no of address are counted correctly. - **Multiple inetnum** When tried to locate an allocation inetnum object for *regid* *prefix* from RIPE DB with option -L -F -T *prefix* returned multiple objects. Every prefix can have only one allocation object. - **NOT Counted Assignment** If the assignment is outside the boundaries of allocation. It was returned by -M query RIPE whois server. - **Invalid inetnum** Logical interpretation of inetnum fails. Probably can not identify start, end of end \< start. - **Assignments has Invalid Date** one of the dates of inetnum in the changed attribute is invalid. ## REQUIRES Perl 5.00404 or later. Connection to RIPE whois server V 2.1, Perl Modules Socket Getopt::Long, regread, ipv4pack ## BUGS Could give incorrect summary if logical interpretation of Inetnum is not exact a.b.c.0 - a.b.c.0 is intended to be an assignment of size 1 IP No. **Out of memory!** Noticed that when the no of assignments are very large, like 5000+ per allocation default data segment size of BSDI 3.1 is not enough. Increasing to 64 M Bytes may help. in bash shell **ulimit -d 65536** eg. de.schlund **IANA Delegated blocks smaller than /8** If the allocations are outside 192,193,194,195,212 /8 and LIR allocation is same inetnum as in /ncc/ip-reg/delegations asused2 will return *No allocations in RIPE DB*. eg. de.callisto ## SEE ALSO whois reg i2r regread Reg::Asused Reg::Approved Net::RIPEWhois ## AUTHOR Antony Antony \ .
