Hi.

I seem to recall from the RIPE meeting that Axel talked about the RIPE database as a valuable source of information. Also other organisations thinks it is a valuable and trustworthy source. It is also a very easy way of finding out the most likely users (at least one step down stream from the LIR) of a specific IP-range.

But how come there is no requirement to add end-user objects for IPv6? Only the LIR's allocations are required. If we want to continue the work that has been done for IPv4 I think we need end-user objects for IPv6 as well.

Maybe there is good reasoning behind this but the explanation I got from the RIPE NCC crew was not satisfactory.

Best regards
