Abstract

   This document describes the objects necessary to include information
   about IP networks and IP numbers in the X.500 Directory. It extends
   the work "Charting networks in the X.500 Directory" [1] where a
   general framework is presented for representing networks in the
   Directory by applying it to IP networks.  This application of the
   Directory is intended to support the work of IP network assigning
   authorities, NICs, as well as other applications looking for a
   mapping of IP numbers to data of related networks. Furthermore,
   Autonomous Systems and related routing policy information can be
   represented in the Directory along with their relationship to
   networks and organizations.
