spike in ARIN IP allocation in Jan 2001

[Leslie Nobile]

Hi Louie-

ARIN periodically sees spikes in the monthly allocation statistics.  The
spike in Jan 2001 was due to the fact that we issued a larger than usual
number of v4 addresses.  This was due to the fact that we made several very
large allocations within that month which caused this particular spike.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.  Thanks.

Leslie

Leslie,

Thank you for your Joint RIR Statistics presentation at the public policy
meeting this morning.  I look forward to reviewing slides when they get
posted to the ARIN website.

I noticed that there was a spike in ARIN IP allocation in January 2001 (and
maybe another spike just a couple of months before).  While I have a number
of guess why this may be, I was wondering if you have any insight for the
reasons behind the spike(s).  I don't think the other RIRs experienced a
similar spike.

Thanks,
Louie
