Hi, isn't that already on the way, called LIR-ALLOCATED? A proposal by James Aldrige... But I don't have any clue about the current status. Cheers, Carsten Dmitry Morozovsky wrote:
Hello there colleagues,
for some last years I'm working with RIPE DB I think it would be useful to have some kind of "sub-allocation" inetnum objects. Brief example in our current situation:
there is downstream provider behind us, currently without its own address block, so I've assigned /21 for them. All that space was of course well-documented, with ripe-141's covering all the nets, and appropriate inetnum objects have been created. But, for aggregating purposes, I suppose aggregating inetnum for the whole /21 would be useful and self-documenting. I can create such object, but such object is considered as overlapped.
I think about explicit route-object also, but size behind current minimum allocation size (/19 for 195/8 or /20 for newer) somewhat stops me :)
Your (both community and especially RIPE NCC people) suggestions are strongly expected ;-) Thank you.
