Who owns (or is allocated) 208.64.200.0/22?
I rise to expose my ignorance. 208.0.0.0/8 is an ARIN block, and ARIN has allocation data for the blocks immediately adjoining 208.64.200.0/22, but no allocation data for 208.64.200.0/22 itself, either in WHOIS or in the website. Nor does 208.64.200.0/22 appear to be "special" in any way. Is this an oversight? How do I get it corrected, if it is? -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin

Never mind. I appear to have found one of the remaining unallocated /22 blocks. Shame I appear to have got spam from it; I hope that's forged. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
It was unallocated a few days ago : http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-issued/2011-March/000807.html Google will probably give you a fair idea why (the word "botnet" comes up a lot!) Scott On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 8:14 AM, mikea <mikea@mikea.ath.cx> wrote:

208.64.200.0/22 is currently listed in the cymru ipv4 "full bogons" list so yeah, that wouldn't be a valid IP block at the current time.

No whois. No route in the global table at this time. My first guess would be it's not allocated/assigned to anyone at this time. According to RIPE RIS: This prefix originated from AS11730 (CIL-ASN - Circle Internet LTD) [last seen on 2011-02-11 23:31:20 UTC]. Hijacked unallocated space? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
