Dear Job and Tore Thanks for pointing this out and for the patch. It seems there was some misinterpretation of the RFC when this feature was implemented. The documentation states it must be an address prefix. But the implementation accepted either an address or an address prefix. Thanks for the patch Job. The developers will check it to make sure it now accepts only an address and fails on an address prefix...which is what the RFC states. Then we will update the documentation to reflect this. regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Team On 15/03/2014 21:32, Job Snijders wrote:

Nice catch Tore! When this commit is merged the documentation will be aligned with expected behaviour.
