These two points interest me the most. Lets say, an LIR is requesting IPs for the purpose of access, but then runs mailservers on it, sending lots of spam.
You're mixing "allocation" and "assignment". The LIR requests an *allocation*, which is not bound to a specific purpose.
Im mixing nothing here. You need to specify a purpose for any assignment you make from your allocation, internally or directly to the NCC.
If you write "the LIR is requesting IPs for the purpose of access", you're mixing up things. LIRs request IP addresses to give them to customers. Not for particular uses.
And the purpose seems to be re-evaluated when there is an audit started.
Read again what Andrew wrote, and keep in mind the difference between "allocation" and "assignment".
So the two questions remain:
- first, how do you find evidence, that the LIR is using the address space now for a different purpose ?
As the *LIR* did not specify a purpose, it can't be "a different purpose" now.
- second, did it ever happen, that the NCC revoked address space or allocations or terminated a contract, because the LIR was using the IPs for a different purpose and then denied fix that ?
No, because that situation can not happen. The LIR does not specify a purpose, so there is no way they could be used for a "different purpose". [..]
Pointing to a possible failure in my wording just stops others in answering important questions (what happens a lot lately), simply because its interupting "the flow" ;o)
Pointing out confusion between allocations and assignments, and who does what, is necessary because the questions can't be answered unless the proper terms are used.
