Iljitsch,
In deed there were ERX unused space that were divided among =
RIRs, I think it is referred as "various ERX" (pointed out by Tore).=20
http://bgp.potaroo.net/stats/nro/various.html
There were also ERX space transferred from ARIN DB (used to be =
in InterNIC's) to RIRs because legacy holders were in the RIR region:
http://www.lacnic.net/en/erx.html
When you talk about "unused" legacy space are you talking about =
the "various" space or to the legacy space that is currently assigned =
but the holders just require part of it?=20
Regards,
-as
