Possible future reissue candidate after hold
Removed from active registration. The tracker found it by comparing AFRINIC's daily statistics. AFRINIC's statistics show it allocated (dated 2013-04-30) on 2026-10-29 and reserved on 2026-10-30. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. AFRINIC publishes no fixed period for which it holds returned IPv6 space before reissuing it, so the tracker gives no estimate. This does not confirm availability.

No transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it available on 2013-04-30 and allocated (dated 2013-04-30) on 2013-05-01. It moved from AFRINIC's unissued pool to an active registration dated around that day, so it appears to be newly issued by AFRINIC.
