    I'm sitting here in the office on a Friday performing some IP
    maintenance and I see that one of our upstreams is still filtering
    an IP
    range we haven't used in years.   I dig into it a bit more and it turns
    out a major carrier still has them SWIPed to us.

    This got me curious and I dug more into IPs from back in our early days
    and discovered there are two Tier-1 carriers we no longer do business
    with that still have large blocks of their own IPs SWIPED and allocated
    to us.

    This is really confusing and concerning.   I know it's not the
    end-all-be-all, but I wonder how much IPv4 exhaustion is being
    caused by
    this type of IPv4 mis-management, where IPs are still shown as
    "allocated" to a customer who hasn't used them in years.

    I've seen this behavior from Frontier and CenturyLink to name just a
    few.

    Any thoughts on this?  What happens if I start advertising these IPs
    and
    trying to use them?
