You do realize the word "legacy" maybe have some special meaning? Like it's outside RIPE NCC domain of control? That the space is registred with RIPE NCC is probably most for the benefit of us all. Either way - if you like it or not, IPv4 is in itself legacy, move on to the future, start using IPv6 and stop wasting all of ours time with this IPv4 crap. Suggestion: try todo the math, with amount of people online, add IoT, add mobile phones etc, there is simply not enough space in IPv4 to match up with the demand for IP space. -- Roger Jorgensen | ROJO9-RIPE rogerj@gmail.com | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no | roger@jorgensen.no
