remarks:        
remarks:        Every 1 hour the prefix 147.189.(216+N).0/24 is advertised. The
remarks:        N here is calculated as HH % 8, so the hour in 24h format
remarks:        modulo 8. Naturally, UTC is used. The prefix is withdrawn 10'
remarks:        after the advertisement.
remarks:        
remarks:        At most one /24 should be available at any single time, which
remarks:        means that all 8 prefixes of the /21 rotate 3 times a day.

remarks:        a beacon, anyone can study the results using RIPE RIS, or any
