Pradeep -
You may have better luck with this request at a network specific group
such as nanog, arin, or ripe. A group such as Arbor Networks may also
have a large amount of information on this request. I'm not the
end-all of this information but I believe that it would be both
non-trivial and a possible violation of user privacy.
Best of luck!

Hello Wikimedia's system administrators and
developers,
I am a PhD student from Institute IMDEA Networks, Spain. I very much
appreciate the data that you have published in Wikimedia Report Card. I
am writing this email as a kind request for a possible cooperation for
assisting me in my research work by sharing your data without violating
anyone's privacy.
I have a task of developing a list of Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
around the globe for 2012. One way of doing it is by mapping the IP
addresses of the internet users who visit your websites to their
corresponding Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) of the ISPs. For this I
need to have IP address dataset logged by your web server in 2012 and
certainly I do not seek it (IPs) being well aware of the privacy
concerns of any website companies. So instead of the IP addresses, if
you can cooperate in running a simple bash script (which I will send if
you agree) on my behalf which will map the IP address (2012 recorded)
from your database to its corresponding ASN and handover the ASNs
dataset to me, I will be thankful and greatly appreciate for your time
and cooperation.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks & regards
