My understanding is that ARIN is not yet "dry". There still is some space available within 23.128.0.0/10 under NRPM 4.10 (which is supposed to be pretty restrictive, but I saw networks that prove me otherwise). And they still allow "further allocations" from that block (provided the "restrictive" conditions are met for all blocks). And it's evey 6 months not every 18 months. So it seems that issuing IPv4 space is still possible even after you cry out loud everywhere that you have none left. Don't tell me we (small LIRs) have to do the same with only a /22 in stock :) -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN fr.ccs
