My theory is that DISO-UNRRA were originally allocated 132.1.0.0/16 through 132.15.0.0/16 in the classful world - these are all in the ARIN DB under various military guises. When CIDR came along, it seems that someone must have decided that because 132.0.0.0/16 was now available and part of a bigger block, it could be added to the announcement, etc...?
There are a total of four like this:
Network Origin AS Description 132.0.0.0/10 568 DISO-UNRRA 135.0.0.0/13 10455 Lucent Technologies 137.0.0.0/13 568 DISO-UNRRA 158.0.0.0/13 568 DISO-UNRRA
Umm -- how does Lucent fit into that? Last I checked, it wasn't part of DoD.
Where did I say that Lucent was part of DoD? ;-) I said there were a total of four announcements where the first /16 was announced as part of a larger CIDR block, but not listed as being allocated to anyone... It seems to me that in these 4 cases the organisations concerned simply decided that CIDRisation meant that the first /16 was theirs... philip --
