Yeah, if someone is leasing IP addresses means that he (the resource holder) doesn't have use for them anymore. As such ARIN (or any other RIR) should recover those addresses then. IP addresses were never made of thought to be leased in this way as asset that can be leased.

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing. I'd like to note that it can be dangerous to use the blocks transferred via 8.2/8.3/9.4 as a metric for abuse. A fraudster that gets past ARIN's scrutiny and obtains IPs with fraudulent information is probably smart enough to lease their IPs as opposed to selling the space outright. There is a huge market for leased space, and those deals happen behind closed doors with no oversight from ARIN. IP addresses go for $0.2-0.5/mo depending on term/IP reputation/size which could lead to $XX,XXX in illicit revenue with no risk of ARIN's scrutiny which would normally occur during the transfer process.

Best Regards,

Robert Clarke

Folks -

It occurred to me that it might be useful to have a quick summary of waiting list blocks issued and subsequently transferred.

Attached is the distribution (count per prefix size) of all blocks that have been issued via ARIN's waiting list policy and subsequently transferred via NRPM 8.2/8.3/8.4 policy.

FYI,
