Clustering ip-addresses on domain names











up vote

I have an ip-network which is basically a list of sequential ip-addresses. From this list I want to cluster ranges of ip-addresses into independent entities. I want to give each IP in the range a set of properties like time to live, nameservers and domain names associated with it.



I then want to determine the distance between each IP-address and its neighbors and start clustering based on shortest distance.



My question lies in the distance function. TTL is a number so that should not be a problem. Nameservers and domain names are strings however, how would you represent those as numbers in a vector?



Basically if 2 IP-addresses have the same nameserver or very similar domain names (equal 2LD) you want them to have a smaller distance. I've looked into something like word2vec but can't really find a useful implementation.

          I would try using difflib like this.



          from difflib import SequenceMatcher

          def similarity(a, b):
          return SequenceMatcher(None, a, b).ratio()


          Then you can call the function against each set of names to get a similarity score and group them based on that.



          similarity("server1","server1")
          1.0

          similarity("Server1","Server2")
          0.8571428571428571

          similarity("foo","bar")
          0.0
