Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2027-11-03. 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 2014-11-22) on 2026-11-03 and reserved on 2026-11-04. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. APNIC publishes no hold period, but its statistics have released returned IPv6 space a year after the removal or later since 2014, so the tracker estimates the hold ends on 2027-11-03. That is what APNIC has done, not a rule it states. This does not confirm availability.

No transfer record matches. APNIC's statistics show it available on 2014-11-22 and allocated (dated 2014-11-22) on 2014-11-23. It moved from APNIC's unissued pool to an active registration dated around that day, so it appears to be newly issued by APNIC.
