[AFRINIC-rpd] Yet another comment on the fee structure

[Andrew Alston]

Hi All,

 

I found that which I was looking for:

 

As per section 8.1 of AFPUB-2005-v4-001 

 

Determination of IP address space allocation size is the responsibility of
AfriNIC staff. In an effort to ensure that Classless Inter-Domain Routing
(CIDR) is implemented and utilized as efficiently as possible, AfriNIC will
issue blocks of addresses on appropriate"CIDR-supported" bit boundaries.
(CIDR - "Classless Inter-Domain Routing", is exlained in RFC1517-1959,
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc.htm> http://www.ietf.org/rfc.htm).

 

The fee structures do not allow for this (1023 addresses means you get 3
/24s and 253 addresses which are not on a bit boundary and would also not be
routable in the global table)

 

There is conflict as per that section.

 

Andrew
