Use cases

RIR is a simple lookup entity representing the five Regional Internet Registries (ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, AfriNIC) plus private/RFC1918 for internal use. RIRs are referenced by AGGREGATE records to track which registry allocated each top-level IP block. This is primarily a documentation and compliance aid - knowing which RIR governs an address block determines the registration database, transfer policies, and abuse contacts.
