[rpd] IPv4 issues

[Kofi ANSA AKUFO]

Hi Jackson

Are you saying AfriNIC gave out another /12 IPv4 yesterday?

Anyway the stats as of December 02, 2014 (according to
ftp://ftp.afrinic.net/pub/stats/afrinic/ ) indicates 6 organisations have
received /12 IPv4 allocations for 2014.

Find attached files for your perusal.

cheers
