Hello, Tore!
Thank you for quick feedback.
After the example you gave - I understood the purpose of the introduction for IPv4.

I do not quite understand this use case. I believe it is not common to split an ASSIGNED PA object into more specific ASSIGNED PA objects. To be honest, I didn't even know that was possible. Anyway…

ASSIGNED PA object (for example /20)

Hi there,

* APEX NCC ORG

Can you provide an example of using and registering an AGGREGATED-BY-LIR object for IPV4?
Who is this for and when?

It has exactly the same use case as AGGREGATED-BY-LIR for IPv6. It is primarily intended for LIRs which need to make a large number of essentially identical assignments, which can then be aggregated into a single database object rather than registering a bunch of redundant objects.

Here's an example, which represent 256 essential identical ASSIGNED PA objects:

inetnum: 192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.255
netname: CLOUDPROVIDER-CUSTOMER-VMS
descr: IP addresses dynamically assigned to virtual machines running in CloudProvider's public cloud infrastructure # this is optional
assignment-size: 32 # this is optional
country: NO
admin-c: CLOUDPROVIDER-RIPE
tech-c: CLOUDPROVIDER-RIPE
status: AGGREGATED-BY-LIR
mnt-by: CLOUDPROVIDER-MNT
source: RIPE

Is its use mandatory?

Not at all, feel free to ignore it and continue doing whatever you've been doing so far.

Initially, the assignment policy was discussed as an assignment for cloud providers.
What should a provider do, for example, if it has a status ASSIGNED PA object (for example /20),
splits it into /24 objects also like ASSIGNED PA with additional routes obj. for its end clients (without NAT / with NAT)?

I do not quite understand this use case. I believe it is not common to split an ASSIGNED PA object into more specific ASSIGNED PA objects. To be honest, I didn't even know that was possible. Anyway…

Is it here an AGGREGATED-BY-LIR  status objects? Or NOT?

…as I understand it, in your example, the 16 /24 ASSIGNED PA objects have unique mnt-routes: values. If so, that means you cannot aggregate the 16 /24s into a single AGGREGATED-BY-LIR object.
