I would assume that when the research project is over, they will be returned to the free pool and assigned under the last /8 policyThat is extremely curious. How can they justify taking 4 million addresses for research two days before running out of regularly allocatable address space? They could have taken that /10 out of the final /8 rather than taking it from the last scraps of regular space if they really need a /10 for research, which is already dubious in and of itself. Of course they didn't bother to respond to my request for information about all of this.
I believe that rather than research, those are prefixes which are particularly "dirty" and they have allocated them to the project to try and get them cleaned up so that they can be subsequently issued. Owen
