Three core assumptions that make internet work!
Post explaining three core assumptions that make the internet work
ARIN
IRINN & APNIC inetnum range confusion
Last week I saw an interesting post at APNIC mailing list about IRINN (recently formed NIR in Indian region).
Poster Jimmy was concerned about IRINN’s netname
inetnum: 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255
netname: IRINN-BROADCAST-ADDRESSES
descr: Broadcast addresses
descr: These addresses cannot (should not) be routed on the Internet.
country: IN
admin-c: IH1-IN
tech-c: IH1-IN
status: ALLOCATED PORTABLE
remarks: send spam and abuse report to info@irinn.in
mnt-by: IRINN-HM
mnt-irt: IRT-IRINNHM-IN
mnt-lower: IRINN-HM
changed: hostmaster2@irinn.in 20130420
source: IRINN
As per first two lines entire IPv4 address space i.e 0.0.0.0/0 (ranging from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255) was put as IRINN-Broadcast while expected was IANA broadcast (since IANA sits on top in this RIR & NIR hierarchy).
