Hi Sylvain, Is your issue simply with using 128.9.0.0/16 and 128.9.128.5/32 as examples rather than a prefix reserved for documentation or something like 192.168.0.0/16? (there is no /16 for documentation purposes afaik) It is a bit difficult for me to understand what you mean so please correct me if I misunderstood. I assume INR means Internet Number Resource? -Cynthia On Fri, Jul 8, 2022 at 10:37 PM Sylvain Baya via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> wrote:
Dear DB-WG,
Hopefully this email finds you in good health!
While exploring some RIPE Whois DB classes [1], i discovered some examples, i thought to be inappropriate [3].
...i would like to draw to your attention, on the presence of some INRs [2] managed [3] by an other RIR, which appear in content returned when the RIPE Database is queried [2]. __ [1]: <paste1> cacty@shalom:~$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -t route | grep --regexp="^holes" --after-context=0 holes: [optional] [multiple] [ ] </paste1> [2]: <paste2> cacty@shalom:~$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -v route | grep --regexp="^holes$" --after-context=11 holes
Lists the component address prefixes that are not reachable through the aggregate route(perhaps that part of the address space is unallocated).
An address prefix is represented as an IPv4 address followed by the character slash "/" followed by an integer in the range from 0 to 32. The following are valid address prefixes: 128.9.128.5/32, 128.9.0.0/16, 0.0.0.0/0; and the following address prefixes are invalid: 0/0, 128.9/16 since 0 or 128.9 are not strings containing four integers. </paste2> [3]: <https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/>
Maybe it's the only description which contains such non-RIPE INRs; other than of RFC 5737 [4]... __ [4]: <https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/>
...but perhaps someone, from the Staff, should check?
Thanks.
Shalom, --sb.
