How are you going to "force" legacy address holders to give up their space? Especially government agencies, which helped to build the early internet? Early registrations, pre-dating ARIN and the other registries, are basically property. You don't even get charged for them unless you sign a "legacy registration agreement."
- sascha_sl 5y agoDOD-NET essentially uses their space as RFC 1918 space, they have never announced it. Property, in many cases, this one included, should be bound to making actual use of it. Some of nets (25/8, the CGNAT space) are essentially so established as private-equivalent, they should just be officially declared private. Connectivity to these will forever be spotty now that they made their way into corporate networks.
- icedchai 5y agoTrue, though a few months back, a ton of DOD space started being announced. See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/04/pentagon-explains-odd-transfer-of-175-million-ip-addresses-to-obscure-company/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/04/penta...
