Hey everybody!
I was wondering if it was possible to tell if an inetnum or inet6num was assigned for the purpose of an internet exchange.
Looking at the inetnum objects for 185.1.0.0/16 (that seems to now be depleted) it does not seem there is anything different between a IX allocation and a regular allocation, in either the delegate file or the actual DB.
Anyone know any better?

Hi Ben, IMO, there is no difference between IX and other allocations. In the definition of the object inetnum [1], there is no reference to IX. Possibly information could be found in the description fields (and some remark), but the information could be in local languages, so it is not conclusive: kix@MINGW64 ~ $ zcat ripe.db.inetnum.gz | grep -i "Internet exchange" | wc -l 166 kix@MINGW64 ~ $ zcat ripe.db.inetnum.gz | grep -i "IXP" | wc -l 809 [1] https://docs.db.ripe.net/RPSL-Object-Types/Descriptions-of-Primary-Objects/#...
