Not to mention Ford Motor Company has 19.0.0.0/8, and there are no announcements for it whatsoever. There are other /8s like it...lots of them early allocations. Why ARIN doesn't revoke them is frankly baffling to me. On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM, Randy Bush <randy () psg com> wrote:
When IPv4 exhaustion pain reaches a sufficiently high level of pain; there is a significant chance people who will be convinced that any use of IPv4 which does not involve announcing and routing the address space on the internet is a "Non-Use" of IPv4 addresses, and that that particular point of view will prevail over the concept and convenience of being allowed to maintain unique registration for non-connected usage. And perception that those addresses are up for grabs, either for using on RFC1918 networks for NAT, or for insisting that internet registry allocations be recalled and those resources put towards use by connected networks...... If you do have such an unconnected network, it may be prudent to have a connected network as well, and announce all your space anyways (just not route the addresses)this is the arin vigilante cultural view of the world. luckily, the disease does not propagate sufficiently to cross oceans. randy
