Regardless of what that other non-authoritative source of information may say, may I ask you to please tell me what *you* see when *you* perform the following two commands?
whois -h whois.ripe.net -- "--list-versions 62.222.0.0/15" whois -h whois.ripe.net -- "--show-version 1 62.222.0.0/15"
Maybe I need new glasses, but I'm not seeing the year 2002 mentioned in the outputs of these two commands.
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Do I need to try using negative numbers as arguments to the --show-version option?
Does that option accept imaginary numbers as arguments?
Start from reading some documentation. https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/ripe-datab... "It is possible to query the history of operational data objects that still exist." It has been already pointed out that this /15 could have been part of something bigger or, quite contrary, part of two separate /16 or even something completely different, which means that the original object could be non-existent. Checking this out is left as an exercise for the reader. Piotr -- Piotr Strzyżewski Silesian University of Technology, Computer Centre Gliwice, Poland
