Dear Felipe, for me, this service is very useful. Is there any web statistics how many people had access to this site and data? 10.06.20 13:59, Felipe Victolla Silveira пише: > Dear members, > > In my update at RIPE 80[1], I mentioned that we would like to > decommission the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service unless there there were > strong objections.

Hello Felipe, I think that this service is useful. I have been able to reach one of the listing LIR in the past, in order to acquire an inetnum for a customer of mine. Maybe it is not useful in term of providing specific address space available, but at least in term of seing which LIRs may have subnets available, and which LIRs are seeking for subnets. Having a list of "LIRs searching for /xx to /yy", and "LIRs offering /zz to /tt" (without having the specific block list made public, but only having it available for RIPE NCC staff), could still be valuable, IMHO. Kind regards, -- Clément Cavadore

Hi Folks, not sure where it is the right place to request, but can we get another cooking show with Alastair? I would be surprised if we don't find enough people requesting it ;) that would be a nice intermittent past-time until next (virtual?) RIPE ;) who's in for that too? Silvan
