First: my company has about 7000 network devices, and owns 4096 IP addresses (24 class C's). Due to our migration to RFC 1918 addresses, we currently use about 6 of our 24 class C's (8bit or 24bit networks in CIDR, i can never remember) on the internet. 16 of the remaining class C's are contiguous.
Second: are assigned addresses transferable? Are these valuable corporate assets? Has anyone (compaq) ever bought a company whose only tangible asset was IP addresses (Digital)?
