  Allocated, not assigned.

    What is the practical difference?

      It didn’t do the bad thing until after it was assigned, so no one cared when it was allocated.

      I was curious as well and found this: https://serverfault.com/questions/191497/ip-addresses-assigned-vs-allocated#191502 https://serverfault.com/questions/191497/ip-addresses-assign...

      From RIPE, "An allocation is the block of IP addresses that is reserved by the RIPE NCC for your use now and in the future. An assignment is a block of IP addresses from your allocation that is used on an active network." https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/faq/faq-ipv4-address-space/what-is-the-difference-between-an-ip-address-assignment-and-an-ip-address-allocation" https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management...

    APNIC used that terminology in their analysis paper of 1.0.0.0/8, "1.0.0.0/8 has been assigned by IANA to APNIC on the 19th January 2010" [1]. To do this analysis, wouldn't they have had to advertise a route back in 2010? [1] http://www.potaroo.net/studies/1slash8/1slash8.html http://www.potaroo.net/studies/1slash8/1slash8.html
