Comment:
I'm yet unclear what we'd gain by adding CAIDA.org data. We're using
MaxMind's GeoLite ASN file which contains the following entry for 1984
Hosting:
{{{
1566564352,1566566399,"AS44925 1984 ehf AS number"
}}}
Onionoo would include that as follows in a relay details document:
{{{
"as_number":"AS44925","as_name":"1984 ehf AS number"
}}}
(Admittedly, the "AS number" part in that string doesn't make much sense
and looks like a data import problem on MaxMind's side. But we can
probably expect similar problems with CAIDA.org's data, just not with this
particular entry.)
But let's also look at a bigger AS/organization that hosts a lot of
relays: OVH. Here's what CAIDA.org says about OVH:
{{{
ORG-OS3-RIPE||OVH SAS|FR|RIPE
16276||OVH|ORG-OS3-RIPE|RIPE
35540||OVH-TELECOM|ORG-OS3-RIPE|RIPE
}}}
And here's what MaxMind's ASN file says about OVH:

Wouldn't we include the exact same output after switching to CAIDA.org
data?
I'm hesitant to add another data source, because I expect inconsistencies
between the two data sources where we don't have the exact same AS numbers
in the two files and similar issues.
Another (minor) issue is the additional overhead for Onionoo server
operators.
Stated differently, I'd want us to have a good reason for adding another
data source. Can you maybe give a counterexample where using CAIDA.org
data in addition to MaxMind data would enhance Onionoo data notably?
