RIPE NCC Returns Legacy Address Space to IANA

news

This global policy enables IANA to redistribute any recovered IPv4 address space equally amongst the RIRs.

Following the ratification of this global policy, on 22 May 2012 the RIPE NCC returned to IANA the 1,368,576 legacy IPv4 addresses that have been returned to the RIPE NCC and plans to return any other legacy IPv4 address space that is returned to the organisation in the future.
