The unexplained awakening over the past four months of more than 100 million previously dormant US Department of Defense (DoD) IPv4 addresses now has an explanation.
On January, 20, 2021, as noted over the weekend by Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at network monitoring biz Kentik, a sizable portion of unused IPv4 address space registered to the DoD (GRS-DoD) and referred to as AS8003, began announcing the reachability of millions of previously unreachable addresses via the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Coming ten minutes after President Joseph Biden was sworn into office and three minutes prior to the statutory conclusion of Donald Trump's term, the timing of the BGP announcement invited speculation about the motives for lighting up so many previously dark addresses.
