Updating the Public Data Network Numbers Registry
by Leo Vegoda 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hi, In my talk earlier today I explained that I am trying to update the Public Data Network Numbers registry. This is the registry for mapping IP addresses from 14.0.0.0/8 to the X.121 addresses used by X. 25 networks. There are a few entries listed there that do not have any contact information listed, or have very old, broken contact information. That's one of the reasons for me to update this registry. If you know any of the people listed in this registry and you can help me update it, either with new contact information or with a confirmation that the address is no longer in use, then I would be very grateful. As promised, here's a link to the registry: http://www.iana.org/assignments/public-data-network-numbers and the slides are in the normal place on the RIPE 54 meeting web site. Thanks, -- Leo Vegoda IANA Numbers Liaison
