Allocated but unannounced space
Every block here was allocated or assigned by a regional internet registry, and none of them appeared in any routing table we collected at our last snapshot — neither as a route of their own, nor covered by a larger announcement, nor carved up into more specifics.
“Unannounced” does not mean “unused”
Plenty of allocated space is deliberately kept off the public internet: private interconnects, lab and lawful-intercept ranges, networks reachable only inside one operator, and space held in reserve. Some of it is announced somewhere our collectors cannot see, which is a limit of our vantage points rather than a fact about the block.
It is also a snapshot, not a history: a block announced yesterday and withdrawn this morning appears here today. Nothing on this page means a block is unallocated, available, or free to announce.
