   _sha1sum                                                    SHA-1 checksum

   The file "_sha1sum" contains SHA1 checksums of individual compressed
   files. The integrity of the distribution thus can be checked by
   independently calculating SHA1 sums of files and comparing them with those
   listed in the file. If you have the sha1sum utility installed on your
   system, you can do that by executing:

     sha1sum --check _sha1sum

   This has to be done before files are uncompressed.

Data Format

   The format for all files is flat ascii text format.

   The rDNS_list.txt just contains the IP addresses of recursive name servers
   used, one IP address per line.

   The Anycast_Enumeration_from_rDNS_to_AS112-timestamp.txt contains all DNS
   IN TXT records of name "hostname.as112.net" collected by all recursive
   name servers in "rDNS_list.txt". The records from each recursive name
   server starts with one line "### rDNS IP ###", and the following lines are
   the records.

   Example:

 ### 192.168.0.1 ###
 "See http://as112.net/ for more information."
 "Afilias Global Registry Services"
 "Service provided in multiple locations"
 ### 10.0.0.1###
 "Unicast IP: 172.16.0.1"
 "Example organization"
 "See http://as112.net/ for more information."
