Legacy space (A) = all the /8s marked as "legacy" by IANA. Used legacy space (B): addresses allocated/assigned according to one of the RIRs which falls within A. Unused legacy space (C): A - B. Examples: lots of class B networks, either they were never given out or they were returned. And 45/8 minus 45.0.0.0/15.
