RIPEstat is a tool that provides lookup and statistics for IP addresses, autonomous system numbers (ASNs), and related Internet number resources. This document discusses new features added to RIPEstat, including reverse DNS lookup functionality, an improved AS routing consistency widget, and AS neighbors information. Future focus areas include expanding the data and widget APIs, improving the AS neighbors widget, and integrating RIPE NCC Access for user personalization and comments. Feedback is encouraged to further improve RIPEstat.

2. What is RIPEstat?
• Numbers are us: IPv4 & IPv6 addresses, ASNs
• Single lookup point for all specific IP-resource
information
• “Stat” is for
_ https://stat.ripe.net
Status: real time, aggregation, zoom
_ Statistics: history, aggregation, zoom
• Eventually will become the interface to all RIPE
NCC measurement tools

10. AS Routing Consistency widget
_ Compare whois objects with actual BGP activity (RIS)
_ Includes information on advertised prefixes, as well as import/export peers
_ Similar to: http://www.ris.ripe.net/rrccng.shtml
<script src="https://stat.ripe.net/widgets/widget_api.js"></script>
<div class="statwdgtauto"><script>
ripestat.init("as-routing-consistency",{"resource":"AS3333"})
</script></div>

12. AS Neighbours data call
_ Uses RIS data to find peers for an AS
_ Inspired in part by http://www.ris.ripe.net/mt/asinuse.html
_ Graphical widget, more features and data sources to come
