Hi,

I'm an indirect user of ipfire IP -> ASN and ASN -> AS name data
since the torproject recently switched from an outdated maxmind db to ipfire'=
s database
on 2021-06-18.

When the switch from maxmind to ipfire's db occurred I observerd a significan=
t increase
of ASes without AS name.

I did read the recent threads on this mailing list about "Import (technical) =
AS names from ARIN",
which I assume should improve or entirely solve the situation.

Is my understanding correct that your recent work [1] on adding ARIN's AS nam=
e [2] data has been merged?

[1] https://lists.ipfire.org/pipermail/location/2021-June/000394.html
[2] https://ftp.arin.net/info/asn.txt

As a test I manually verified AS14061

> 14061                   DIGITALOCEAN-ASN

and was unable find the AS name when using ipfire's db.

example lookup:
https://location.ipfire.org/lookup/134.209.159.74

Should I already see ARINs asn.txt AS name information or will this be
"visible" in ipfire's db in the near future?

kind regards,
nusenu
