[...] Now, RIPE-582 (February 2013) contains the following text:
"6.6 Validity of an Assignment All assignments are valid as long as the original criteria on which the assignment was based are still valid and the assignment is properly registered in the RIPE Database. If an assignment is made for a specific purpose and that purpose no longer exists, the assignment is no longer valid."
Therefore, if the above premises are correct, spamming ranges are classified "not valid" - simply because snowshoe spam was not the motivation given to get the assignment.
This paragraph mentions *assignments*, which is (in the context of LIRs) what a LIR gives to it's customers. So indeed, if a customer is lying to the LIR, the assignment falls back to the LIR (which makes a difference when the LIR's allocation is full and they can't get more space because their assignments are not valid). This paragraph does not apply to the *allocation* give to the LIR from the RIPE NCC. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
