Hi -
214/8 and 215/8 seem to have been allocated to the U.S. DoD in ca. 1998. There does seem to be a few sizeable announcements (which overlap a few not-so-sizable ones), but I have to wonder if anyone can explain the grounds on which they were allocated these two /8s, and which body did the allocation. Anyone?
Sean.
I could. Why does it matter?
Oh, openness, transparency, that sort of thing. Nothing really important.

These were delegated on the return of nets 49 and 50, along w/ about a /9 of mixed /16 and /24 space. e.g. an overall reduction in the amount of space. Jon Postel, as the IANA, approved the transfers. At that time, ARIN did not have control over legacy delegations. --bill
