Dear Colleagues,
The IANA and the RIRs are working on an ongoing basis to verify and
correct registration data of legacy address space to identify free
space in these blocks.
As a result of this work the RIPE NCC will begin allocating from 188/8
in future.
The minimum allocation size for 188/8 has been set at /21.
You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly.
More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC
can be found at:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-434.html
Please also note that three "pilot" prefixes will be announced from
188/8. These prefixes are:
188.0.0.0/16
188.0.0.0/21
188.0.0.0/24
They will all originate in AS12654.
The following pingable addresses will available in these blocks:
188.0.8.1
188.0.1.1
188.0.0.1
More information on this "pilot" activity is available in the
document "De-Bogonising New Address Blocks", which can be found at:

Alex Le Heux
