Re: /8 end user assignment?

i just -know- i should read the rest of this thread before considering a reply. if i remember correctly, some group in Japan received a /8 as a transition plan to IPv6... details are hazy. sort of like the ARIN thing for experiments, the v4 space was/is supposed to be tied to some equivalent v6 space and after a period (12 months or so) the v4 space was to be returned. Pretty clever as a transition thing, presuming no ill will on the part of the participants. --bill
