There is more there than first meets the eye. The 'fixed' part only applies to
the reservation of the block to the primary holder.

See that 'ASSIGNED PA' entry?

- 'Provider Assigned'. Means that the holder may, and is *expected to*
sub-assign chunks or individual IP from within that block, not use them itself.

And some - or *all* of the sub-assignments may *still* be be for dynamic use.

Nothing in the records prevents, it, and - in general - 'PA' suggests it is
highly probable.

HTH,
