Re: (Non)-Uniqueness of Net Names

> 1) Should we remove the uniqueness requirement for net names in the > Merit and InterNIC/whois databases? This is worth cosidering seriously. Withou a whole lot of consideration I tend to be in favour. We should require uniqueness within some local domain such as an organisation or site. > 2) My understanding is that RIPE's database does not require existence > or uniqueness of net names. Is that correct? No, we require exitence and uniqueness, although uniqueness is not checked thoroughly for blocks. > 3) Do net names serve any useful purpose? Yes they do! As with all names they make it easier to talk about the object named. > Should we get rid of them altogether? So this answer is no. > What other people or organizations should be consulted in this process? I'll copy the RIPE local registries group. Daniel
