IPv4 allocation monitoring tool
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 22 May '05

22 May '05

Hi, I've been looking at the IPv4 allocations lately, in order to figure out how soon we're going to run out. I made a little tool to search the data in different ways: http://www.bgpexpert.com/addrspace.php It doesn't do anything fancy: just collect the public stats from the different RIR FTP servers once in a while and dump the records in a database, which can then be searched with the page above, with results such as: RIR Country Addresses Date 78.51 M 2000 89.02 M 2001 69.02 M 2002 87.67 M 2003 123.93 M 2004 79.86 M 2005 Another interesting one: RIR Country Addresses Date US 1305.90 M JP 138.33 M EU 114.01 M Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

RIPE DB: disclosure of commertial information
by Max Tulyev 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi! I have very strange situation. One company I support, an ISP, wants to become a LIR. But they do not want to put information about their clients' assignments into the RIPE DB, because of there is a possibility to steal clients (most of them - major clients) using RIPE DB, and they says that there already was some incidents. Really, you can see RIPE DB for assignments of LIR to have its client list with name of organisation, size (larger client have larger assignment), address, phone, fax, email, and even administrative and technical contact persons. Only you need to do - is to send (or even talk with) better offer addressing it to certain people... What do you think about it? -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

Allocation transfer
by David Bell 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi all, uk.redwing is a small LIR, providing internet via satellite. We are in the process of hosting a new satellite platform, on behalf of another organisation, that is projecting a requirement for a /19 in the next 12 months. This partner is not currently an LIR, but is considering it as a future option. What I am trying to determine is if uk.redwing applies for this /19 address block, and assigns it as PA space, will it be possible in the future for us to hand it over to our partner, if/when they become an LIR themselves. Perhaps this is a case where PI addresses would be suitable, but I see warnings everywhere I look regarding the use of PI space. My apologies if this is not the correct place to post this question, please let me know the best place to go if I'm on the wrong list. Thanks very much, Dave Bell Redwing Satellite Solutions Ltd.

New Draft Document: RIPE Whois Registration in 2005: What should be in Whois and Why?
by leo vegoda 01 May '05

01 May '05

Dear Colleagues, At RIPE 49, Eva Ericsson Rabete (TeliaSonera) made a presentation to the Address Policy Working Group in which she asked some questions about the state of the RIPE Whois Database. Following the discussion at the meeting, Eva was asked to take the discussion onto this list (Action Point 49.4). A draft document discussing the uses of the RIPE Whois Database, and detailing questions to consider, has been published in the "Latest Draft Documents" section of the RIPE Document Store. The purpose of this draft document is to encourage discussion about what elements should be in the Whois Database and why they should be there. This draft document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/whois2005.html Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Summary TLD Anycast Allocation Policy
by Patrick Arkley 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

Hi WG. We at MCI are requesting a /24 PI-range to use for an anycast service (DNS) but the request has been rejected in accordance to the current assignment policy. We need PI-space belonging to a separate AS so we can't use existing MCI space. The need for this range is if course routing reasons which is prohibited by the policy. I've been reading Andreas Baess e-mail on this issue and I hope this issue will be addressed on the RIPE 50 and rule in favour of changing the policy. I don't judge on the routability aspects but more on the fact that we need a change in the policy to accomodate a setup for anycast services. Myself I can't attend the WG meeting on Thursday 5/5 due to other engagements so this e-mail is my support for the proposal.
