[lacnog] Proposal of enhancement on the RIRs/NRO delegation File format/info

[Douglas Fischer]

Talking to a friend, he suggested to map the specific ASNs in this
situation, and treat it separately.
Well, I don't think this is scalable...

Just to give you an idea of how big is this question, I have made some
scripts to count how much organizations exists with 1, 2, 3, and so ASNs
allocated.


Here goes(It is Scary!):
