<p>Thanks Andrew, and Mark Elkins who also told me I was missing
significant data. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm doing further research to see if I can provide a more
complete data set to the community, and I both ask forgiveness for
sending incomplete data and thank those who are helping me improve
the data set.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The list of legacy IPv4 addresses transferred is at <a
href="https://www.afrinic.net/services/220-erx-transfer"
moz-do-not-send="true">
https://www.afrinic.net/services/220-erx-transfer</a> and
also <a
href="https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/legacy-resources/erx/transferred-resources"
moz-do-not-send="true">
https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/legacy-resources/erx/transferred-resources</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>A total of 271,604 legacy IPv4 addresses was transferred.<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Distribution of the blocks:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Three Class Bs (/16s)<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0

<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0

One /19<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">

<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
One block of six /24s<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Seven blocks of five /24s<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Four /22s<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Eleven /23s<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Forty-six /24s<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
One /26 (!?)<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I hope this is useful information to the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
