Elisa's RIPE transfer: new parent, old NKV child cards

Elisa Took the Allocation; the IP Lookup Still Says NKV

Why it matters

RIPE NCC recorded three Finnish transfers to Elisa Oyj on 3 November. The parent records moved together. For 9,216 addresses, an ordinary address lookup still lands on older, more specific NKV cards. The registry is showing two floors of the same building.

RIPE records the Elisa transfers on the parent allocations; more-specific assignments inside two of the blocks still show NKV-era labels.

Summary

RIPE NCC's allocated-address transfer file records three 3 November transfers from Napapiirin Kuituverkot Oy to Elisa Oyj: a /22, /19 and /20, totalling 13,312 IPv4 addresses.
The exact Elisa /19 parent says ALLOCATED PA; an ordinary lookup inside it returns an older ASSIGNED PA child named NKV-1.

A transfer can change the deed without replacing every card in the drawer. RIPE's 3 November ledger lists 83.146.128.0/19 (8,192 addresses), 84.240.112.0/20 (4,096) and 193.177.188.0/22 (1,024) moving from Napapiirin Kuituverkot Oy to Elisa Oyj. All three are Finnish POLICY and PERMANENT entries. Their exact parent inetnum objects identify Elisa's ORG-EO1-RIPE, carry ALLOCATED PA, and share a creation timestamp of 15:51:47 UTC on 3 November. The other two parent cards and the /22 complete the receipt.

Now type an address from the /19 into RIPE's ordinary IP lookup. The answer is one of two /20 assignments named NKV-1; together they cover the whole /19. Both still describe Napapiirin Kuituverkot Oy in Rovaniemi and carry fi-neve-1-mnt. Their last changes were on 14 October. The /22 has the same two-level shape: two older /23 assignments, NKV-2 and NKV-NET-1, partition it and retain NKV-era maintainer labels. Those four children account for 9,216 addresses. The /20's sampled ordinary lookups return the new Elisa parent. RIPE's object rules put more-specific assignment records under member management. The old labels are visible records, not a rival transfer receipt.
