{{DISPLAYTITLE:AS Network WHOIS Lookup}}
AS (autonomous systems) are individual networks that, together, make up the global Internet as we know it.

=== About the AS Network WHOIS Lookup tool ===
Network packets (traffic) are transmitted over the Internet by traversing multiple networks run by different organisations - known as Autonomous Networks. Each of these organisations is assigned a number for their network, known as an ASN (Autonomous System Number.)

Each network peers with other networks, sharing the AS numbers of the networks they peer with.

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation operates a particular AS network.

=== Use Cases ===
Use the AS Network WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

* Identify which organisation is responsible for an ASN
* Find out contacts to report abuse or technical problems with an ASN

=== Usage ===
Enter an ASN in the "AS Number" field.

Optionally select a regional WHOIS server to send your query to.

=== Results ===
The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for '''AS15418''', the AS number allocated to Fasthosts - the company and data centre that hosts the server running Solid Tools for Developers.
