Every change the tracker has found, newest first. It covers ARIN from 2008-12-01, the RIPE NCC from 2010-04-23, APNIC from 2008-02-15, LACNIC from 2012-06-29 and AFRINIC from 2012-10-03.

2026-04-22 APNIC Released Released from hold (APNIC lists it as 'available') Strong inference

Statistics: AS38221 reserved on 2026-04-22, available on 2026-04-23
Inventory: APNIC's statistics now list it as 'available'; reissue not confirmed

APNIC's statistics show it reserved on 2026-04-22 and available on 2026-04-23. APNIC moved it from its reserved (held) records to the status it calls 'available'. The tracker saw it removed from registration on 2025-04-22, 365 days earlier. That is APNIC's own label: whether and when it is reissued is not confirmed.

2025-04-22 APNIC − Deregistered Removed (return, revocation or reclamation not publicly distinguishable) Strong inference

Statistics: AS38221 allocated on 2025-04-22, available on 2025-04-23
Inventory: Possible future reissue candidate after hold
Hold estimate: Estimated hold end 2026-04-22. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.

Removed from active registration. The tracker found it by comparing APNIC's daily statistics. APNIC's statistics show it allocated (dated 2021-03-26) on 2025-04-22 and available on 2025-04-23. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. APNIC publishes no hold period, but its statistics have released returned ASNs a year after the removal or later since 2014, so the tracker estimates the hold ends on 2026-04-22. That is what APNIC has done, not a rule it states. This does not confirm availability.

2021-03-26 APNIC + Registered Apparent reissuance of previously removed resource Strong inference

Statistics: AS38221 available on 2021-03-26, allocated on 2021-03-27
Inventory: Likely issued from APNIC-controlled inventory

No transfer record matches. APNIC's statistics show it available on 2021-03-26 and allocated (dated 2021-03-26) on 2021-03-27. The tracker saw this range removed from registration on 2010-06-02 (AS38221), so it appears to have been issued again from APNIC's pool.

2010-06-02 APNIC − Deregistered Removed (return, revocation or reclamation not publicly distinguishable) Observed only

Statistics: AS38221 allocated on 2010-06-02, not listed on 2010-06-03
Inventory: Possible future reissue candidate after hold

Removed from active registration. The tracker found it by comparing APNIC's daily statistics. APNIC's statistics show it allocated (dated 2008-02-01) on 2010-06-02 and not listed on 2010-06-03. Being gone from APNIC's statistics entirely can also mean it moved to another registry. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. APNIC publishes no hold period, and its statistics show a steady one (a year) only for removals from 2014-07-01 on; this one came earlier, so the tracker gives no estimate. This does not confirm availability.

Transfer records

No transfer log has a transfer of any part of this ASN.

RDAP lookups

Not looked up. The tracker queries RDAP for changes as they're reported (on first sight, after 24 hours and after seven days); older changes aren't looked up because today's RDAP says nothing about the past.
