recipe: How to map an IP address to a Internet eXchange Point (IXP)

[bhuffaker]

Please create a recipe to do " How to map an IP address to a Internet eXchange Point (IXP)"

• background

  • IXP data
  • Mapping IP to Prefix

• How to contribute to the catalog:

  • https://github.com/CAIDA/catalog-data/wiki/how-to-contribute

• example recipes

  • https://catalog.caida.org/search?query=types=recipe

[bhuffaker]

"If I am understanding this correctly, I have to make something to take a IP address and look up the IXP it is mapped to?"

The steps you need to do:

• download the IXP files

• load the ixs.jsonl and make a mapping between the IXP's prefixes and the IXP's ix_id.

  • Your solutions will be very similar to the IP 2 AS solution, but you will be returning the IXP's ix_id
  • Then you can use that ix_id to lookup the IX's information you stored

• Input should be a file with a single IP address per line

  234.345.5.23 
  3.4.5.6

• Output should be the IP address and matching IXP's id and name

  234.3.4.5 | 3 | Calgary Internet Exchange 
  3.4.5.6 | |

Got it.

I believe I have a working version, where should I upload it?

[bhuffaker]

You need to make a recipe that will include: background, code/solution, and caveats.

I don't think that I can create branches, when I put in a name the option to create a branch is not there.

[NathanZak]

I finished my readme. How do I update my branch with the recipe?

[bhuffaker]

YOu need to learn how to work with git using the command line .

git push origin 294-how-to-map-ip-to-ixp Just doing git push says there is no upstream branch.

[bhuffaker]

I have invited you to the catalog-dev team. Please accept the invite and then try again.

Added IXP to tags and a description. I think I am ready for a review.

[bhuffaker]

@sashazabegalin please review this recipe.

• is it well written?
• does it provide enough background
• does the code work (you will need to get it to work)

[sashzabegalin]

My review:

• Usage Section needs to be updated from "python3 _ipixp.py -i -ix _ixs202110.jsonl" to ---> "python3 ip_map_ixp.py -i -ix " since I am assuming that any IXP Dataset can be used and that the correct file name needs to be used to run the script
• Update usage with a link to IP files that the user can use
• I found another recipe that dealt with IXP. (How to Annotate a Traceroute with IXP) I found their background more detailed with their explanation of IXP. I would recommend to use this.

"What is an Internet Exchange Point (IXP)? An IXP is a physical infrastructure that allow Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Content Delivery Networks(CDNs), and other organizations to exchange Internet traffic between their networks IXPs are managed by one of the following: non-profit organizations, associations of ISPs, operator-neutral for-profit companies, university or government agencies, informal associations of networks ### What is an IP address? IP addresses are unique identifiers that connect devices to the Internet network for communication purposes"

• I updated some minor things in your code like "for i in file" to "for line in file" for better code clarity/style
• I got the script to work on my terminal and as well as create an output file. I believe the output file is in CSV format but I would just double check that it is properly outputting as a CSV (I am not too familiar with CSV files so it might be fine).
• Other than that, good job!

[sashzabegalin]

Complete! @bhuffaker

[bhuffaker]

@NathanZak please commit the above suggestions and then create a pull request

[NathanZak]

Ok, I think I did it correctly.
