Exterior routing protocols such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) requires ASNs to exchange information between networks.

You can download AS to lat/long mapping base from netgeo.caida.org. It contains AS number, organization, city, region, country, iso country code, continent, latitude an longitude.
