Also other organisations thinks it is a valuable and trustworthy source. It is also a very easy way of finding out the most likely users (at least one step down stream from the LIR) of a specific IP-range.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>But how come there is no requirement to add end-user objects for IPv6? Only the LIR's allocations are required. If we want to continue the work that has been done for IPv4 I think we need end-user objects for IPv6 as well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Maybe there is good reasoning behind this but the explanation I got from the RIPE NCC crew was not satisfactory.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Best regards</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Patrick Arkley</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=106524211-09102009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Verizon Europe</FONT></SPAN></DIV><br /><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Verizon Sweden AB - registrerat i Sverige med organisationsnummer 556489-1009- huvudkontorets adress: Armegatan 38, Box 4127, 171 04 Solna, Sverige</span></p></BODY></HTML>
