[routing-wg]New IPv4 blocks allocated to RIPE NCC

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC received the IPv4 address ranges 2/8 and 46/8 from the IANA in
September 2009. We will begin allocating from these ranges in the near
future.

The minimum allocation size from these two /8s has been set at /21.

You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly.

More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC
can be found at:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html

Please also note that several "pilot" prefixes are being announced from
each /8. These prefixes are:

2.0.0.0/16, pingable 2.0.0.1
2.1.0.0/21, pingable 2.1.0.1
2.1.24.0/24, pingable 2.1.24.1
46.0.0.0/16, pingable 46.0.0.1
46.1.0.0/21, pingable 46.1.0.1
46.1.24.0/24, pingable 46.1.24.1

They all originate in AS12654.

More information on this "pilot" activity is available in the
document "De-Bogonising New Address Blocks", which can be found at:
