The algorithm used is defined in ripe-143, in which the parameter n
is defined as:

"Let n be the number of the quarter since the start of 1994 
(so 1 = Quarter 1 of 1994, and 13 = Quarter 1 of 1997); "

The data used are at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/local-ir/category-Sep/
and the results for each LIR at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/local-ir/alloc-Sep/
