--- Comment #5 from Ashar Voultoiz <[email protected]> 2011-01-17 16:49:39 UTC --- Rethinking about it, we might have to implement a system to collect the end user allocation size per ISP. As an example, given an ISP with a /20 allocation and sub allocating a /60 to each of its end users. When blocking the user IP address we could whois it to find out the ISP superblock (/20 in my example) and then prompt to collect the end user allocation size (/60 in my example, could be /64 per default). The next time we try to block an end user for this ISP, we could internally look up the default end user allocation size and use /60 as a default. Most companies would be allocated a /48 from their ISP and have a different policy. So we have to find the smallest possible block and set the default end user allocation size for this block. We should probably query the whois database from time to time to detect networks changes. Ideally, such a field should be available in the RIR databases. I have not found any plan to implements it as of January 2011. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
