Thanks everyone. It sounds like (a) customer needs to clarify contract terms with Paetec, and (b) unless they have an ongoing relationship, the best long-term plan is to renumber. I did check reg dates on the blocks, and it is much more recent than the customer led me to believe (or than I interpreted) ... so I suspect this is less something which simply dropped off the map and more of an above-board and possibly ongoing relationship than I suspected. The customer does provide voice service, so there may be something going on behind the scenes which makes sense from an authoritative routing perspective. Thanks for your help. This customer seems to be responsible so I suspect I may not have all the details and overstated the issue. -----Original Message----- From: bmanning@vacation.karoshi.com [mailto:bmanning@vacation.karoshi.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 3:45 PM To: Joe Abley Cc: Adam Greene; nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Paetec PI space? f the assignment predated ARIN, then its not clear if current ARIN policy is applicable.

We have a customer who was assigned some PI IPv4 space by Paetec back in mid-90's
I think it's correct to say that the only entities that can assign PI IPv4
space are RIRs and the IANA. If I'm right, what you're talking about is PA space, regardless of claims made by your customer or Paetec.
