Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2026-06-08. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.

Removed from active registration. ARIN-Issued didn't list this; the tracker found it by comparing ARIN's daily statistics. ARIN's statistics show it assigned (dated 2011-06-20) on 2025-12-07 and reserved on 2025-12-09. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. ARIN holds returned, revoked and reclaimed ASNs for 6 calendar months before reissuing them, so the estimated hold end is 2026-06-08. This does not confirm availability. Since mid-2024, ARIN has released many ASNs within two months, before the 6 calendar months were up, so the release can come sooner.

Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2011-06-16. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.

Removed from active registration. ARIN-Issued didn't list this; the tracker found it by comparing ARIN's daily statistics. ARIN's statistics show it allocated (dated 2005-05-10) on 2010-12-15 and not issued on 2010-12-17. (Until 2013-03-05, ARIN's statistics list only what's issued.) Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. ARIN holds returned, revoked and reclaimed ASNs for 6 calendar months before reissuing them, so the estimated hold end is 2011-06-16. This does not confirm availability.
