BGP ASN
..................
With this alias type you are able to select networks by their responsible parties.
Using BGP parties announce the addresses they are responsible for to eachother.
For example Cloudflare uses AS number :code:`13335`, Microsoft is known to use :code:`8075`.
More background and how addresses are assigned is explained on `wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)>`__
