Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2027-05-01. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.
Removed from active registration. The tracker found it by comparing the RIPE NCC's daily statistics. The RIPE NCC's statistics show it assigned (dated 2020-05-07) on 2026-11-01 and reserved on 2026-11-02. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. The RIPE NCC holds returned, revoked and reclaimed IPv6 space for 180 days (six months), or longer while still routed, before reissuing it, so the estimated hold end is 2027-05-01. This does not confirm availability.

No transfer record matches. The RIPE NCC's statistics show it available on 2020-05-06 and assigned (dated 2020-05-07) on 2020-05-07. The tracker saw this range removed from registration on 2019-11-08 (2001:678:20c::/48), so it appears to have been issued again from the RIPE NCC's pool. Another change to this range was reported the day before or after (2020-05-06: Released 2001:678:20c::/46), so the before-and-after statistics may include it.
