<p>You could start with the number of addresses allocated
pre-Afrinic, by ARIN and RIPE, to African networks, but I don't
see the point. <br>

<p>If an inter-RIR transfer policy is approved, with a control
mechanism, then each day, week, or month, Afrinic would report the
number of addresses it has registered as transfers from another
RIR, and the number of addresses to another RIR. If transfers From
ever exceeds transfers To, then addresses are flowing out. <br></p></div></blockquote><div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">These stats and the ratios Afrinic vs others will be
