As a starting point, let's take (approximations to) MarcoH's RIPE-47 statistics.
Number of inet[6]num objects: 10**6 Number of inet[6]num objects with IRT: 10**3 (not significant)
This simple counting approach is potentially VERY misleading, as it is not the sheer _number_ of individual entries which should be counted, but the _size_ of the address blocks covered in this hierarchy.
On top of that, there's the possibiltiy to use the hierarchy to e.g. provide a "1st-line" contact for an individual address block AND a fallback or upstream for the encompassing block.
Marco, would it be reasonably easy for you to extract this additional piece of statistics data?
Sure, although it will probably take some time as I'm kinda busy these days. To be sure, last meeting I had the count on the number of inet(6)num objects having a mnt-irt and the number having a remarks: *abuse* attribute. The request is to extend this on the actual number of IP-addresses covered by both methods ? I will try to extend my script (grep | wc -l) a bit to get this info, hopefully during next weekend but at least in time for the next meeting. Grtx, MarcoH
