Re: The addition of guarded fields

Marten, I think that the RIPE NCC have to split blocks. RIPE NCC is a neutral organisation that can do it without problems. If we do not agree on that, that means a very long procedure to update the guarded fields, and I believe that no service provider will want to rely on the efficiency of a NIC for its routing policy. So that mean that nobody will use those fields for routing, so the information may be completly out of date. But I agree with Blasco on one point, the maintainer of the block must be inform that the block has been splitted Gilles
