In response to several questions, I can give the following information about organisations whose Afrinic membership was terminated and their resources reclaimed. In 2014: 15 members were closed 18 ASNs were reclaimed 211968 IPv4 Addresses (/32s) were reclaimed 5 IPv6 /32s were reclaimed In 2015: No members were closed. In 2016: 12 members were closed 8 ASNs were reclaimed 71680 IPv4 /32s were reclaimed 1 IPv6 /48 was reclaimed In 2017: 19 members have been closed (or are near the end of the closure process) 16 ASNs have been reclaimed 45056 IPv4 /32s have been reclaimed 2 IPv6 /32s have been reclaimed To find exactly what space is currently quarantined, you can download the extended statistics file from <ftp://ftp.afrinic.net//stats/ afrinic/delegated-afrinic-extended-latest>, search for “reserved” in the seventh pipe-delimited column, and then exclude any space within the following ranges which are reserved by policy: IPv4 196.60.0.0/16 Reserved for IXPs peering networks per CPM 11.4 IPv4 196.49.0.0/16 Reserved for IXPs management networks per CPM 11.4 IPv4 102.224.0.0/12 Reserved for future use per CPM 5.4.7 ASN 37769-37887 Reserved for use in BGP route servers at IXPs per CPM 11.4 In the case of IPv6, the extended statistics file shows that, for each allocated /48, space is reserved up to the next /44 boundary, and for each allocated /32, space is reserved up to the next /29 boundary. If you are looking for quarantined space, you will also have to ignore these reservations. Hi Alan Thank you for the effort and sharing this information. We will appreciate as a community that this information is and must be made available online as part of the annual report[1] Checking again the link ftp://ftp.afrinic.net//stats/a frinic/delegated-afrinic-extended-latest Besides the block below which you indicated as reserved per CPM 5.4.7. afrinic|ZZ|ipv4|102.224.0.0|1048576||reserved It does also shows for instance, the below space as reserved afrinic|ZZ|ipv4|102.160.0.0|524288||reserved afrinic|ZZ|ipv4|102.178.0.0|131072||reserved afrinic|ZZ|ipv4|102.180.0.0|65536||reserved Which means either this stats are outdated or wrong since your email and explaination doesnt indicate why the above 3 blocks are marked as reserved and which can't be recovered space as per the recovery numbers for 2017. And why is the recovered and/or reseved space not listed in Afrinic's normal pool or at a dedicated web page like below for better trasparency. http://www.lacnic.net/web/lacnic/revocacion-de-recursos Why can't Afrinic create similar tools?. And what is the rational behind the 2 years quarantine before the recovered space can be reallocated? What is the process of determining and/or restoring recovered space reputation from previous activities BR, Noah [1] By the way, where is the annual report for 2016? The bylaws make its publication mandatory. [1] The community has requested and we agreed that In order to enhance AFRINIC accountability, we make sure that this information is published yearly so that the community/membership can know how much space is recovered and available in the inventory.
