ASmap dashboard: tracking the asmap-data history against the observed network

The recent feedback on the ASMAP dashboard highlights a keen interest in enhancing its functionality by incorporating a new metric. This particular metric would focus on tracking significant changes in Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), specifically identifying those that deviate from ordinary patterns typically seen with large corporations like Google or Amazon, which often involve internal rearrangements. The suggestion emphasizes the need to distinguish between common internal changes and unusual or "weird" moves, potentially indicating more noteworthy shifts in network behaviors or ownership.

To implement this feature effectively, it would require the development of a method to categorize and flag movements of ASNs that appear atypical compared to standard corporate restructuring. This could involve setting parameters or algorithms that define what constitutes a "weird" move, based on factors such as the scale of change, the entities involved, or unexpected geographical shifts. Integrating this metric into the dashboard would not only enhance its analytical capabilities but also provide users with more detailed insights into the dynamics of ASN allocations and modifications.
