This is interesting, showing how bad assignment has been even _after_ CIDR. 5K sites migrating providers in 2 years.
I believe the NIC was assigning out of 198 before CIDR went into effect. I got a single C directly from them in late 1993, as I recall.
RFC-1366 was October 1992! And of course, an internet draft before that!
Another fine example of the NIC level of competence.
In August 1994 I applied for a /23 CIDR block. I received 2 consecutive /24's instead from a NIC other than the Internic. Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc. Fax: +1-604-542-4130 http://www.memra.com E-mail: michael@memra.com
