+# ipverse-announced-routes
+
+A collection of IPv4 and IPv6 routes grouped by the announcing autonomous systems. The routes are aggregated to save space.  
+This repository is updated once a day.
+
+## How to use
+
+Most likely, you won't need to clone the repository. To download the announced routes for a specific autonomous system (AS1234 IPv4 adresses in this example), try:  
+```$ curl https://github.com/ipverse/as/blob/master/as/1234/ipv4-aggregated.txt```
+
+The same for all IPv6 routes for AS1234:  
+```$ curl https://github.com/ipverse/as/blob/master/as/1234/ipv6-aggregated.txt```
+
+To download the latest lookup table used to enhance the generated route data:  
+```$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipverse/as/master/as.csv```
+
+If you plan to use the routing data for firewalling purposes, have a look at:
+
+  - [ipset-blacklistlist](https://github.com/trick77/ipset-blacklist) ipset/iptables based Bash script, IPv4 only
+  - [todo](https://localhost) insert link to a popular project with nftables and IPv6 support
