Normally I'm rather loathe to send urls around - but in this case you may find this APNIC work directly relevant to what you are asking for: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-51/presentations/pdf/ripe51-address-c... I also did some work a year or so back on the differences between announced vs allocated prefixes. http://www.potaroo.net/presentations/2004-05-01-allocation-vs-announcement.p... At the time (May 2004) it appeared that the message was getting through and the fragmentation of allocations was decreasing. I have not re-reun the scripts recently to confirm if this is wtill the case. regards, Geoff At 05:06 AM 17/11/2005, Bora Akyol wrote:

Or at least provide a database that is signed so that people can check what is getting announced vs what was really allocated at least off line.

ARIN will not step in here. They allocate resources, they do not police or enforce those resources.
