Re: Class "B" forsale (fwd)

I personally oversaw the return of four /16's recently, so I, at least, do not consider this to be Pollyannaism.

When I returned an ASN 2 months ago to RIPE, I asked what the procedure was to deallocate an AS object and return it to the pool of available numbers. I was told there was no procedure since I was the first. :-)

Not quite the same thing and not the same registries Hank. Check the PIER wg archives. There is a method to return IPv4 prefixes. ASN return is a bit different but does work with InterNIC. -- --bill
