Dear Jochem, Hello everybody, As no more messages on the list, I can imagine holidays are now there :-) If i may summarize my last email : - Why are we using "billing categories" ? It seems there are not useful to understand either the use of RIPE ressources or the quantities of services delivered to members. I have added some more questions regarding your last link : >> ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest >> This shows all the delegated resources from the RIPE NCC to its members. If there is somewhere a FAQ regarding this file, please accept my apologises for these questions, i would read it first, but i didn't find any : - Some dates (5th column) are set to 0 : what does it means ? - A lot of ressources are assigned or allocated before 1993 and thus are not used for computing current TimedScore : why ? - Would it be possible to ask RIPE NCC to add a column with the billing category, so anybody may compute the statistics ? Thanks a lot, Best regards, Bernard Dugas Bernard Dugas wrote: > Dear Jochem, > > Jochem de Ruig wrote: > >>> Sorry, i may be unclear, i look for a table like this : >>> >>> Category ExtraSmall Small Medium Large eXtraLarge >>> N° of AS N° of >>> /19V4 N° of >>> /20V4 N° of >>> /21V4 N° of >>> /22V4 N° of >>> /30V6 N° of >>> /31V6 N° of >>> /32V6 N° of >>> /33V6 >> >> >> I do not have a table like this available.
