What I cant find is clarification on the ipv4 deployment requirements. We missed the boat on getting another allocation because renumbering to meet the in use requirement for the request (too many stacically configured IPs in the middle of every subnet spread around the network) so we didnt get them.
So now, since we couldnt even get a /24 because we didnt have enough of our current allocation actively assigned, can I go to the marketplace with an extra 100 and just pick up a /17 with no issues, or will ARIN decline the transfer because we wouldnt have them in use? Are they still reclaiming dormant allocations? You would think the market would flood with IP4 as IP6 is deployed because there would be allocations no longer meeting the minimum deployment rules.
