Hi all,

However, the allocation should always be in the portal and approved by your countries coordinator. Afaik an allocation that is not in the portal is technically not valid.
I also have a subnet that is not in the portal... Here are the details :
As we are an island, we developed a specific network topology, which uses two central gateways in data centers, and what we call "TKBoxes" (formally, OpenWRT/OpenVPN boxes which establish communications with the two data centers in a Plug-and-play manner over any Internet provider). Our initial routing scheme was using private addressing (10.44.0.0/16) and we are gradually migrating to AMPRNet / HamNet addressing.
My current subnets are : - 44.190.11.0/24 : Declared in the portal, currently announced via BGP on Internet, and hosting production services facing public Internet (WEB, XLX, VoIP, etc...) - 44.168.80.0/23 : Allocated directly with the 44.168.0.0/16 French coordinator, but *not* declared in the portal yet. It's currently in use (80% of our old 10.44.0.0 net has been migrated to it). But it's currently not routed outside of the island. It's still unclear if I should route it via eBGP over Internet (and probably having trouble with the rest of the European HamNet), if I should route it only with HamNet schemes (IP-IP tunnels and iBGP with EU neighbors), or both. After several discussions here and in private mail with the involved people, I think the best solution would be to follow DG8NGN's advice, and keep separate routing schemes : - 44.190.11.0/24 is an Internet subnet and should be routed on Internet via BGP - 44.168.80.0/23 is a Hamnet subnet, with absolutely no need to be routed on public Internet, and should be routed only with Hamnet techniques
Anyway, as everybody knows ;-) this is done only on our free time. No formal decision has been taken yet about the routing technique to be used for 44.168.80.0/23, and no routing of that subnet exists for now outside of our island. It's in the TODO list, but not done yet ;-)
Then, I agree with you : in an ideal world, all subnets should be registered in the portal. Anyway, I don't think removing all what is not in the portal (yet) without any discussion would be a brilliant idea...
