i'm doing some consulting work for a cable operator in Pakistan. while i'm guessing that realistically we will be approaching RIPE for address space, i'm just wandering what happened to 24.0.0.0/8 and what policies govern who and what can use the address space there. -- Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +92 336 520-4504 "I'm Prime Minister of Canada, I live here and I'm going to take a leak." - Lester Pearson in 1967, during a meeting between himself and President Lyndon Johnson, whose Secret Service detail had taken over Pearson's cottage retreat.

Not quite sure why you'd want to use 24/8. It became a "normal" address block a very long time ago . RFC3330 sez:
24.0.0.0/8 - This block was allocated in early 1996 for use in provisioning IP service over cable television systems. Although the IANA initially was involved in making assignments to cable operators, this responsibility was transferred to American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) in May 2001. Addresses within this block are assigned in the normal manner and should be treated as such.
So, it's just regular IP address space, available for assignment if you live in ARIN-land. Incidentally, Pakistan is serviced by APNIC, not RIPE: http://www.apnic.net/about-APNIC/organization/apnics-region Nick
