Subject: [DBWG] deaggregation in DB
Message-ID: <e899734f-055b-487a-983d-d19200f2c59a@geier.ne.tz>

Dear AfriNIC Staff,

I want to request and encourage you to educate some members that the DB 
can hold inetnum objects with ranges bigger than one single IP address.

I'm seeing more and more inetnum objects added that contain a single 
IPv4 address. And then there are 4 of them or 8 of them in a row. Makes 
me wonder if these can get aggregated, or if there's any reason against 
this.

$ whois -h whois.afrinic.net -- -B -r -M 196.207.20.0/24 | egrep '^descr'


Thanks,
Frank

hi frank,

if you are writing to afrinic staff, then, this is the incorrect place for this message.  i can?t help you with staff aliases;  most of the mail i send, gets ignored these days ..

if you are proposing a change to the db structure, then this is the correct place.
are you proposing a change to the db, where afrinic should disallow [x] ?

if so, please send unambiguous text  ;-)
