/22 IPv4 blocks in the RIPE region
1,024 addresses. What this size is used for, and what it takes to buy or sell one.
A /22 is the most transferred block size in the RIPE region, and there is a reason for that: it was the final allocation size the RIPE NCC issued to new members from 2012 until the pool ran out. Thousands of LIRs hold one, and a great many of them have since sold it.
DCXV brokers blocks of this size in the RIPE NCC region, with escrow and the registry paperwork handled.
