in search for a tool which will help a LIR to maintain<BR>> its IP addresses
- currently everything is listed inside an Excel file,<BR>> which is, IMHO, a
very limited way of maintaining the lists.<BR><BR>Global Crossing uses a complex
but powerful home-grown IP database system<BR>which, when coupled with an
interface for requesting address space,<BR>suffices for our needs. The database
very cleanly aggregates and<BR>de-aggregates blocks on the fly, tracks user
information and customer<BR>numbers, can prioritize and de-prioritize blocks for
assignment, and can<BR>report utilization statistics on an as-requested basis.
Everything is<BR>written in perl.<BR><BR>If there is interest, we can publish
these tools as freeware/open source<BR>for the RIPE LIR community to use.
