Could someone be so kind as to enlighten me about the intended semantics of "status: LEGACY"? I'm back to trying to do parsing of the data base, en mass, and I've just now noticed that the annotation "status: LEGACY" within a given inetnum record may not mean what I thought it meant. (And by the way, there seem to be several tens of thousands of inetnum records in the data base, at present, which are all marked as "status: LEGACY".) Here are just a couple of randomly chosen samples that are confusing me: inetnum: 51.155.0.0 - 51.155.255.255 netname: UK-ZEN descr: Zen Internet Limited country: GB org: ORG-ZIL1-RIPE admin-c: RT1337-RIPE tech-c: ZIRA1-RIPE status: LEGACY mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-LEGACY-MNT mnt-by: ZEN-MNT mnt-by: ZEN-NOC-MNT created: 2015-09-23T13:10:05Z last-modified: 2020-02-03T11:55:22Z source: RIPE inetnum: 51.155.91.64 - 51.155.91.71 netname: ZEN20210525-NOC-NYCOMM-LIMITED descr: Nycomm Limited descr: leased-line country: GB admin-c: RT1337-RIPE tech-c: ZIRA1-RIPE status: LEGACY mnt-by: ZEN-NOC-MNT created: 2021-05-25T16:49:09Z last-modified: 2021-05-25T16:49:09Z source: RIPE In what sense is the first inetnum record above denoting a "LEGACY" block? The block appears to have been first assigned by RIPE to ORG-ZIL1-RIPE on 2015-09-23. Aren't LEGACY blocks just the ones left-over from the very old days? I have the same questions also for the second inetnum record shown above, which is a sub-assignment / sub-allocation of the first one. Well, here's another one. This also seems rather un-LEGACY, based on the apparent creation date. inetnum: 162.55.0.0 - 162.55.255.255 netname: DE-HETZNER-19920803 country: DE org: ORG-HOA1-RIPE admin-c: HOAC1-RIPE tech-c: HOAC1-RIPE status: LEGACY mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-LEGACY-MNT mnt-by: HOS-GUN mnt-lower: HOS-GUN mnt-domains: HOS-GUN mnt-routes: HOS-GUN created: 2019-11-18T15:01:35Z last-modified: 2019-11-18T15:01:35Z source: RIPE I'm sure that there is a perfectly rational explanation for all of this. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would guide me to it. Whatever is going on here, I obviously didn't get (or didn't read) the memo. Regards, rfg
