[This is about ARIN, but curious to see if anybody has any insight...] A colleague of mine showed me https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET6-2630-2, i.e., a /16 allocated by ARIN to Capital One (AFAIK a US bank). Of course, this may be a tool bug, or a human encoding mistake, else I will start to fear an IPv6 addresses exhaustion in the future (only 2**13 of /16 out of 2000::/3). If anyone has any insight, then I will welcome this insight in this specific case.
See the long thread on IETF v6ops: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/v6ops/ThaSy_hNlx1GP59EFAJ9NkBXP5A/ Noting, as I did there, the US DoD got a /13 (14x /22) around 2008.... so a /16 is peanuts ;) Greets, Jeroen
