It says in the article that their IP space is from a legacy block, which means it's has never been given by IANA to any RIR, so ARIN can't make a claim on it. Not sure how they'd get 666k addresses out of legacy space though :).
- adulau 16y agoI'm not sure that legacy blocks can be really transferable with an exchange of money. http://www.merit.edu/events/mmc/pdf/2008_Stovall_ARIN.pdf http://www.merit.edu/events/mmc/pdf/2008_Stovall_ARIN.pdf It seems as long as right holder is changed in the whoisdb... it seems fine.
- wmf 16y agoThe situation has changed since 2008; maybe look at more recent ARIN policy.
- jedsmith 16y agoThey specifically allow it now, and I don't think this article has to do with 47/8. They probably cannot transfer 47/8. There are other, smaller allocations in ARIN WHOIS; my officemate rattled them off out loud but I couldn't add in my head fast enough. Dig through WHOIS, it probably adds up to 666k.
