[racktables-users] Available IPv4 blocks to allocate

I wonder if someone has already or could assist me with creating a report
to outline available blocks at their largest size and total. We have taken
to racktables as a primary DCIM. This product is amazing, just need to get
to that next step.
The problem:
We are using Racktables to manage 6 locations currently adding a 7th in the
next few months.
We have 20+ allocations from ARIN as well as carrier allocations. We are
currently tracing where each block is broadcast via tags.
IPv4 Blocks are up to a /19 in size.
We broadcast as small as a /24
So you end up with a /19 for example with pieces broadcast from all
locations. Therefore the graphic and availability reported on the main page
does not actually apply.
The graphic is not necessarily correct to begin with because if the block
is allocated - it is not available - however unless you assign each IP then
it shows available.
Additionally drilling though a /16 of space is a real pain.
The solution:
A report or tab that shows only available blocks with tagging.
When you create a network you are currently able to click the box to
automatically allocate the network and broadcast - how about a tick-box to
allocate the entire network.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance and would be glad to donate for
this functionality.
Best,
Chris.
