Summary

  • The exact 103.7.208.0/22 left a Dream-labelled source in 2015 and returned from the same recipient to Dream Information Laboratory LLC after 1,849 days.
  • ARIN-to-APNIC transfers in August and October 2026 added a /20 and /19, 12,288 addresses together. All three exact APNIC RDAP objects now name the LLC.

A block of 1,024 IPv4 addresses took five years to make a round trip through APNIC's transfer log. On 11 November 2015, the exact range 103.7.208.0–103.7.211.255 left a source named Dream Information Laboratory for Japan Network Information Center/EXPRT. On 4 December 2020, the same bounds came back from that recipient to Dream Information Laboratory LLC. The two names in the log differ; the address interval does not. The clock between the entries reads 1,849 days, one hour, 16 minutes and 19 seconds.

That is the quiet part of the record. In 2026 the scale changes. APNIC lists a 17 August transfer of 153.79.80.0–153.79.95.255, a /20 with 4,096 addresses, from ARIN source handle NCR-Z to Dream Information Laboratory LLC. Its 21 October row adds 162.35.64.0–162.35.95.255, a /19 with 8,192 addresses, from KFA-10, also marked ARIN to APNIC. Those two arrivals contain 12,288 addresses: twelve times the size of the older /22. The three observed ranges total 13,312. This count covers these three recorded ranges.

The handles are not names one can read at a glance. ARIN's current entity record resolves NCR-Z to NCR Voyix Corporation and KFA-10 to KAGA FEI America, Inc. ARIN's own cumulative transfer file records the corresponding exact /20 and /19 as outbound to Dream Information Laboratory LLC, naming those two source organisations directly. One registry's receipt gives a coded source, the other gives the institution. Joining the exact address bounds and dates makes the pair intelligible without pretending that a company name alone is a durable resource identifier.

The two RIR clocks do not print the same time. APNIC places the /20 transfer at 06:28:04 UTC on 17 August; ARIN records its outbound row at 13:14:32. For the /19 on 21 October, APNIC prints 07:31:01 and ARIN 11:39:09. These timestamps mark separate public registrations. A shared case identifier or workflow receipt would tell readers which step each clock marks. The transfer log currently makes them perform the join themselves.

Current APNIC RDAP supplies the destination check. Exact queries for the returning /22, the August /20 and the October /19 each have boundaries matching the rows and name Dream Information Laboratory LLC through entity ORG-DIL7-AP. The /22's current registration event is dated 4 December 2020; the larger two carry 2026 registration events. The registry has thus left a historical trail and a present holder view for all three. The ranges remain three separate pieces: /22, /20 and /19, each with its own source history.

The tempting short version would be that Dream “got its address space back and expanded.” That sentence hides the best evidence. The first row names Dream Information Laboratory; the return row names Dream Information Laboratory LLC. A corporate filing linking the 2015 name to the 2020 LLC would establish their legal continuity. The two bigger ranges arrived from different ARIN holders six years later. What can be stated plainly is narrower and stronger: the identical small range went out and back, the later arrivals were twelve times larger, and today's three exact RDAP records converge on one named registrant.

APNIC and ARIN show the accounting stakes. A transfer row is a dated movement, an ARIN handle needs its own identity lookup, and RDAP is a current state. Read all three as one evolving address book and the small round trip no longer masquerades as the main event. The 2026 additions are the heavy drawers in this cabinet.
