<p>Colleagues,</p>
<p>It has seemed to me that there has been a lack of information in
some of the policy debates. I finally got around to looking up how
much legacy address space is in the Afrinic region.</p>
<p>When Afrinic was founded, legacy address space was transferred to
it from RIPE-NCC. I think address space from ARIN had already been
transferred to RIPE-NCC before that, so the RIPE-Afrinic transfer
was all of it, but I'm not completely certain, and if anyone else
remembers better, please correct me.</p>
<p>The list of legacy IPv4 addresses transferred is at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.afrinic.net/services/220-erx-transfer">https://www.afrinic.net/services/220-erx-transfer</a> and also
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/legacy-resources/erx/transferred-resources">https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/legacy-resources/erx/transferred-resources</a></p>
<p>A total of 271,604 legacy IPv4 addresses was transferred.</p>
<p>Within this series were three Class B blocks (/16s) currently
registered to the European Space Agency, Sweden, and IDSC in
Egypt. There was also one /17 currently registered to TE Data in
Egypt.</p>
<p>Distribution of the blocks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Three Class Bs (/16s)</li>
<li>One /17<br>
</li>
<li>One /19</li>
<li>One /21</li>
<li>One block of six /24s</li>
<li>Seven blocks of five /24s</li>
<li>Four /22s</li>
<li>Eleven /23s</li>
<li>Forty-six /24s</li>
<li>One /26 (!?)</li>
</ul>
<p>Unless there were separate legacy block transfers from ARIN or
APNIC, or other addresses have been re-registered into Afrinic
since its founding, this is the total of legacy address space in
the region.</p>
<p>I hope this is useful information to the community.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Lee<br>
