I have recently been informed of such activities. So far, my

been successful.</font></div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font size="4">2) Re: Ur. Pt. 2):
Our work looks very much inline with your Unicast project. My
quick reaction is that EzIP appears to be a practical
application that can benefit from your proposal. Although we
further limit the application of 240/4 netblock to be
"on-premises" (from the Internet core's perspective) use, the
scheme of the EzIP deployment actually makes the scope bigger.
Since I am not very familiar with the terminologies, does this
interpretation make any sense? Please comment.</font></div>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">1) Thanks for confirming my understanding of the 240/4 history.
Basically, those in charge of the Internet appear to be leaving the
community in the state of informal debates, since there is no more
formal IPv4 working group.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">2) On the other hand, there was a recent APNIC blog that specifically
reminded us of a fairly formal request for re-designating the 240/4
netblock back in 2008 (second grey background box). To me, this means
whether to change the 240/4 status is not an issue. The question is
whether we can identify an application that can maximize its impact.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Please read our recent Internet-Draft on the subject:

In section 2, you will find references to all the previous allocations
(and requests for allocation) of the 240/4 address block.
