Looks lika heritage from the old ways? I can agree that if you waste to many addresses in the same place it could be a better way to make life harder the next time you ask for more space, rather than having the NCC look at each sub-allocation immediately.


I like the idea of delegated responsibility. Request with documentation yes, but it can stay att LIR level until the next NCC audit. I guess that was your point Olaf?
