Howdy, Since it no longer has to mean anything within the context of the policy, why not write it in plain English? Assignment - [deprecated] IP addresses provided by ARIN to organizations which were not Internet Service Providers. Sometimes called a "direct assignment." ARIN no longer differentiates between address user types. Either word should be understood to mean an allocation as defined above.
