    <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>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

            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>

        <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>
