[joao@localhost: Modifications to the inet6num in the RIPE Database]

[David Kessens <]

Hi,

I think this should have been forwarded to the ipv6 mail list earlier ...

I don't have much trouble with it myself. I will be sending a few
minor comments to Joao on the db-wg@localhost mail list were he
originally posted the message.

Dear all,
below are the proposed modifications to the inet6num object in the RIPE 
Database as discussed during the past RIPE Meeting.

These are mainly to bring the IPv6 object up to the IPv4 object's 
functionality.

The two suggested changes are:

- addition of a "status" attribute with the following possible values:
  TLA, NLA and SLA.
  Syntax checks will be done so that:
  TLA is only allowed if the prefix length is 3<x<=16
  NLA is only allowed if the prefix length is 16<x<=48
  SLA is only allowed if the prefix length is 48<x<=64

- addition of "mnt-lower" capabilities, as in the IPv4 object.

We would like to open a comment period of 1 week from today to gather input 
and proceed with implementation if there is consensus.

Regards,
Joao Damas
