[Apologies for Duplicates]

Dear Colleagues

The RIPE NCC received the IPv6 address range 2A01:0000::/16 from
the IANA in December 2005.

2A01:0000::/23 was allocated to the RIPE NCC in July 2005. This
latest range includes that previous allocation.

You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly.

You can find more information about the IP space administered by
the RIPE NCC on our web site at:

!Finally! IANA is passing /16's directly to the RIR's! That is a good
thing to see happening. Congrats (Or did somebody request a /17 ? :slight_smile:

See http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html
I expect Gert to update those later today, give him a few moments :wink:

You're jumping to conclusions. As Jeroen mentioned, it could be just
someone getting an /17 (with a /17 above reserved for expansion).

Cheered to early, it's just a big block again:

inet6num: 2a01:c000::/19
netname: FR-TELECOM-20051230
descr: France Telecom

But it could mean that the wine lovers will get a broad availability of
IPv6!!!
