[db-wg] Fwd: Multi tenancy in a LIR?

Hi Hank

Your scenario is not clear. When you say "each has their own
resources", how did they get those resources? Were they separate LIRs
that have received allocations, have there been mergers, were they all
allocated to the parent organisation's LIR and distributed to sub
organisations? Or do you mean they each want to have their own
resources?

As far as the database is concerned, address space resources allocated
to the parent organisation's LIR can be distributed to sub
organisations as LIR-PARTITIONED or ALLOCATED-BY-LIR. The sub
organisations can separately manage their resources. If you want
exclusive management control by the sub organisations you can set the
MNTNER attributes accordingly. But ultimately they are still the
parent organisations resources. They could be reclaimed by the parent
organisation. The organisation reference in the allocations will
always be the parent organisation that was allocated the resources by
the RIPE NCC. That cannot be changed.
