[ncc-services-wg] Page listing IP allocations sorted by country?

> I also would like to see this list again!

So would I :)

This page used to be
http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html
And we also had
http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs6.html
Both have now disappeared...

These pages listed IP allocations sorted by country and by LIR. I used
them only for teaching purposes in my university, and they were
INCREDIBLY useful for teaching CIDR!

The other files containing country and LIR information that are still
available do not fit the same purpose:
- ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest and
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/issued/ do not contain LIR
information
- ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/ripe.db.gz contains detailed and "raw"
data, as compared to previous "allocs" files

For a few days the October 2004 version of allocs4.html (not allocs6)
was accessible at:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/local-ir/allocations
But now this one also has gone...

I understand that the other RIRs did not have such files, and I used to
be grateful to RIPE for these.

Yet I still have a local copy for October 2004, but it is a pity not to
be able to access any longer the up-to-date version!

I first thought the file was withdrawn for "security reasons". But all
the material inside is (presently) still publically avalaible in whois
DB. Or even in the following files:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz (64113 KB)
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inet6num.gz (310 KB)
And these files are much more complete and thus larger than the former
allocs4 and allocs6...

It seems that these pages had some interest for a few people. Usage
Statistics for www.ripe.net in September 2004 at
http://www.ripe.net/statistics/www3/www-http/usage_200409.html
indicate that "allocs" files ranked 14 and 15 in the top entry pages:
14 	2623 	0.01% 	1398 	0.07%
/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs.html
15 	2415 	0.01% 	974 	0.05%
/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html
with a total 5000 hits cumulated on that month, and similar stats in
previous months...
(They also ranked 5 and 6 in Top URLs by Kilobytes!)

Hope I might contribute to a future reappearance of these files in any
access protocol (FTP/HTTP/etc)?

Sincerely,

Patrick.
