### [RouteViews](https://www.routeviews.org/routeviews/) database [Update: every 2 hours]

### ASN database [Update: Daily]

Created by merging 5 RIRs ([afrinic](https://afrinic.net), [apnic](https://www.apnic.net), [arin](https://www.arin.net), [lacnic](https://www.lacnic.net), [ripe ncc](https://www.ripe.net)) IP-ASN-Country database.
[ASN (Autonomous System Number)](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)) is a unique number assigned to an Autonomous System (AS) by the [IANA](https://www.iana.org/).

### [DB-IP](https://db-ip.com/) database [Update: Monthly]

You could download and read the license from [ip-to-asn-lite](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-asn-lite) or [ip-to-country-lite](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-country-lite) or [ip-to-city-lite](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-city-lite).
Most of the AS Organization name used in [asn](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ip-location-db/asn) uses [ip-to-asn-lite](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-asn-lite) database.
We also use [ip-to-asn-lite](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-asn-lite) to get AS Number from ip address as a supplemental.

## Merge rule for multiple database

When merging multiple database, set the front database above back one.
For example, geo-whois-asn-country is created by merging 3 database with GeoFeed > Whois > ASN.
In more detail, the geo-whois-asn database matches the GeoFeed results, for ip ranges not covered by GeoFeed it matches the Whois results, and for ip ranges not covered by either it matches the ASN results.
```
GeoFeed: 1.0.0.0, 2.0.0.0, AU
         3.0.0.1, 4.0.0.0, US
Whois:   1.0.0.0, 2.2.0.0, FR
         2.5.0.1, 4.0.0.0, IN
ASN:     1.0.0.0, 4.0.0.0, JP
```
is converted to
```
GeoFeed-Whois-ASN: 1.0.0.0, 2.0.0.0, AU
                   2.0.0.1, 2.2.0.0, FR
                   2.2.0.1, 2.5.0.0, JP
                   2.5.0.1, 3.0.0.0, IN
                   3.0.0.1, 4.0.0.0, US
```
