MIT No Longer Owns 18.0.0.0/8 (ttias.be)

Posted by msmash on from the hmm dept.

An anonymous reader shares: MIT no longer owns 18.0.0.0/8. That's a very big block of scarce IPv4 addresses that have become available again. One block inside this /8, more specifically 18.145.0.0/16, was transferred to Amazon.

    Someone traded 10.0.0.0/8 for it. MIT got a deal, because like /. UIDs, lower numbered ones are better!

    I have, like, TONS of 192.168.x.x addresses and I only use a few. How can I sell the rest?
