Why does the RIPE NCC audit LIRs?
The RIPE NCC does audit LIRs to promote consistent and fair application of assignment criteria with regard to conservation and registration of address space and aggregation of routing information. The RIPE NCC verifies that LIRs are applying the assignment criteria correctly. The auditing activity will also help to identify parts of the procedures themselves that cause problems and the findings will be reported back to the RIPE address policy working group for further investigation and improvement of the procedures. At the 1996 Contributors Committee Meeting, the contributors agreed that the RIPE NCC should significantly increase its efforts to actively check the quality and validity of registry data. This should also include the production of statistics on address space usage. In order to ensure a fair address space distribution, the RIPE NCC will regularly check that assignment guidelines are applied equally.
