[db-wg] Using the RIPE Database for IPAM

Hello,

sorry for coming "late to the party". Maybe this is of interest.

Cable & Wireless developed a global IPAM system based on the Ripe-DB 
back in 2001. It had been been in use until the Vodafone takeover and is 
still used by Vodavone's main IP/Allocation administrator.

Main features are:

- classification of IP-Ranges on certain criterias like
   transfer net for pop X in ity Y
- Supports IP-V4 and V6
- tool for requesting free ip space
   i.e. give me the next free transfer net for pop X in city Y
- automatic sync with RIPE and APNIC
- filtering (remove private attributes) whois daemon (mainly) for use 
with ARIN

Its technically absolutely possible to implement IPAM attributed within 
the Ripe-DB and offer IPAM as a service for members.

The software had been presented on the APNIC/APRICOT meeting back in 
2006. I attached the paper in case anyone is interested. Its quite dry 
though.

best regards,

   A. Vehling
