These commands may take a few minutes to run with `python3`,
depending on the amount of data involved and your machine specs.
Consider using `pypy3` for a faster run time.
### Comparing ASmaps
AS control of IP networks changes frequently, therefore it can be useful to get
the changes between to ASmaps via the `diff` and `diff_addrs` commands.
`diff` takes two ASmap files, and returns a file detailing the changes
in the state of a network's AS assignment between the first and the second file.
This command may take a few minutes to run, depending on your machine.
The example below shows the three possible output states:
- reassigned to a new AS (`AS26496 # was AS20738`),
- present in the first but not the second (`# 220.157.65.0/24 was AS9723`),
- or present in the second but not the first (`# was unassigned`).
```
217.199.160.0/19 AS26496 # was AS20738
# 220.157.65.0/24 was AS9723
216.151.172.0/23 AS400080 # was unassigned
2001:470:49::/48 AS20205 # was AS6939
# 2001:678:bd0::/48 was AS207631
2001:67c:308::/48 AS26496 # was unassigned
```
`diff` accepts a `--ignore-unassigned`/`-i` flag
which ignores networks present in the second but not the first.
`diff_addrs` is intended to provide changes between two ASmaps and
a node's known peers.
The command takes two ASmap files, and a file of IP addresses as output by
the `bitcoin-cli getnodeaddresses` command.
It returns the changes between the two ASmaps for the peer IPs provided in
the `getnodeaddresses` output.
The resulting file is in the same format as the `diff` command shown above.
You can output address data to a file:
```
bitcoin-cli getnodeaddresses 0 > addrs.json
```
and pass in the address file as the third argument:
```
python3 asmap-tool.py diff_addrs path/to/first.file path/to/second.file addrs.json
```
