RE: 172.0.0.0/12 has been Allocated

My apologies again, I saw it as 127.0.0.0. and not 172.0.0.0.

I've been working long hours last couple nights. Yeah you are probably right, since they to pulled that one very close 
to RFC1918.

I would hate to be AT&T for this IP allocation. Heck, I would simple push more IPv6 if I were them.

You can do a whois search at arin.net to see the allocation.

172.0.0.0/12 is often confused with the private 172.16.0.0/12 address
space, which I would consider a 'scraping the bottom of the barrel'
allocation.

I also noticed a couple of subnets in that range showing up in the weekly
Cidr reports, beginning in July.
