++++ APNIC Secretariat. Hi George,
It's really hard to find the summary information specially me (+ others, like me) who have limited technical skill to analyze the summary data . *is it possible to share any URL which present infographic information about NIR allocated data ? * Regards, Jahangir On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 10:18 AM Jahangir Hossain <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi George, > It's really hard to find the summary information specially lme (+ others, > like me) who have limited technical skill to analyze the summary data . > > *is it possible to share any URL which present infographic information > about NIR allocated dada ? * > > > Regards, Jahangir > > > On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 4:08 AM George Michaelson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Having spoken to Anurag off-list, the problem he was facing has been >> resolved, but to keep the community informed, here is a summary. >> >> 1) delegated file records about AS numbers are *blocks* of AS Numbers. >> >> As noted by Jamie, the entry for many of the AS numbers in the delegated >> and delegated-extended reports is not a single line per AS, but a block: >> Part of the file includes a count of AS, which combined with the value of >> the AS represents the “size” of the range.
