[arin-announce] IANA Issues /12 to ARIN

[ARIN]

On 2 September 2014, ARIN received the IPv4 address blocks 45.16.0.0 - 
45.31.255.255 from IANA in accordance with the Global Policy for Post 
Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA. This policy was 
activated in May 2014 when the LACNIC IPv4 free pool dropped below one 
/9 of IPv4 address space. The full text of the policy is available at:

https://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion

As a result of this allocation, the ARIN free pool has increased to .76 
/8 equivalents.

This change does not impact the IPv4 Countdown Plan, and we will 
continue to follow Phase 4 processing procedures. We encourage you to 
visit the IPv4 Countdown Phase 4 page at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/request/countdown_phase4.html

ARIN has added this new /12 to its available inventory and will begin 
issuing from this block in the near future.

For informational purposes, a list of ARIN's currently administered IP 
address blocks can be found at:
