Do not try to invent your own network # numbers but instead get one from your network provider (if any) or # from your regional registry (ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC, or AfriNIC.) AfriNIC does not distribute IP addresses yet. Several people doubt it will be able to do it in the near future. In any case, the advice is quite premature. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I suggest not to mention the RIR at all since they do not serve the end-user, anyway. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
