Why Register Legacy Space?
The BENEFITS of registering legacy space include:
- When you register your legacy space in the RIPE Registry, you can:
- Update and manage your registration data
- Use RIPE NCC membership services
- Update reverse DNS delegation
- Show that you are the legitimate holder of the address space
- Provide reliable data for network operations and troubleshooting
- Show that you are a good Internet citizen
The RISKS of not registering legacy space:
- Will be frozen in the RIPE Registry; no changes can be made to the data
- Could become vulnerable to hijackers
- Provides outdated data to network operators that rely on the RIPE Registry for routing purposes
