An RIR is an entity that manages the Internet number resources, which include IP addresses and autonomous system numbers, within a specific region of the world. RIRs use SWIP (Shared WHOIS Project) or RWhois (Referral WHOIS) servers to provide address allocation information for IP address blocks. Typically, an RIR determines the address blocks to be allocated for specific organizations (typically ISPs), while an ISP manages the allocated address blocks, associated organizations and corresponding RIR registrations. An organization can determine when to request for more address data with their RIRs every few months.
The RIR object is used to configure Infoblox Grid communication settings to send registration update to RIPE (Reseaux IP Europeens) database as often as RIR data is updated on NIOS.
