If there are no networks defined, as far as RIPE is concerned, it's un-used.
We just got audited for RIPE for exactly this reason, and they made us specify details for all of the networks we use on our allocation to be allowed to keep our address space.
- X-Istence 14y agoThat's not the case for older legacy networks. Those don't fall under the purview of RIPE as they were allocated before RIPE existed. I'm wondering if RIPE can even do anything regarding that netblock in terms of possibly pulling it and re-allocating it.
- kiallmacinnes 14y agoAs far as I know, they can't. All they can do (and have already done) is ask nicely for it back.
- wpietri 14y agoWell, if they were feeling ballsy, they could just declare it unused, break it up, and start assigning it. A lot more network nerds would listen to RIPE than to some random UK pension bureaucracy.
