Similar to 1.0.0.0/8 case, which was allocated to APNIC last year or so... On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 6:47 AM, <bmanning@vacation.karoshi.com> wrote:

Read RFC1918.
Likely a machine on his local network (i.e. behind the same NAT box) is hitting him.
Patrick, I'v read RFC-1918. I cannot find *any* reference to 172.0/12, as the OP was asking about. 172.16/12, yes. but not 172.0/12. Can you please clarify your advice?

so as a stylistic point, 172/12 is supposed to equal 172.0.0.0/12?
if memory serves, back in the day, there were records of allocations in this space, pre-ARIN. When RFC 1918 was settled on, there were some folks blocking 172.0.0.0/8 so there was talk of relocating those folks into other space.
