[arin-ppml] Change of Use and ARIN (was: Re: AFRINIC And The Stability Of The Internet Number Registry System)

Fri Sep 17 10:13:23 EDT 2021

The historic artifacts are already available, there are early series of
RFCs that are essentially published snapshots of the "notebook". The first
series is titled "Assigned Numbers", and up to RFC960 it includes IP
address assignments, as well as many other protocol assignments. Then later
the series "Internet Numbers", up to RFC 1166, splits out the IP address
assignments from the other protocol assignments after RFC960.

These should be useful to help satisfy your number nerdiness, or the need
to perform early Internet number archaeology.

Thanks
