Actually let me correct myself... The format I think would be better is: block date-of-current-allocation registry comment/purpose I don't want to see separate lines below like "(Formerly Stanford University - Apr 93)". This should be part of the comment on the same line and date should always be the last change, i.e. 049/8 Joint Technical Command May 94 Returned to IANA Mar 98 should actually be: 049/8 Mar98 IANA Formerly Joint Technical Command (May 94 - Mar 98) On Wed, 4 Sep 2002 [email protected] wrote: > Yes. 256 lines is probably better, just to make it easily portable. > > Also I'd like to see the list of how the ips are split between reginal > registries for whois purposes.
