As Arturo mentions, defining 'actual use' of number resources has proved quite tricky.
The only workable assumption is that space that is marked 'available' or 'reserved' in the delegated-extended files is not in use whereas everything else is in use, regardless of whether it is announced in the Internet or not. Even this assumption could lead to unexpected situations here and there as there could be space being recovered that is still routed in bgp while being marked as reserved, not mentioning possible ongoing route hijacks of 'available' space still getting traffic. cheers! -Carlos On 7/11/15 7:18 PM, Arturo Servin wrote: > > How would you define that address space is unused?
