Does IXP space come out of a separate pool from any other ipv4? from what I understand, it comes out of a dedicated /16. RIPE NCC will be able to confirm whether this is a contiguous /16 or not.
185.1.0.0/16 is the /16 reserved for IXP assignments. However, according to the RIPE-649: "/IP space returned by IXPs will be added to the reserved pool maintained for IXP use/" [1]. This means that we will also make new IXP assignments from an IP block different than 185.1.0.0/16, when re-using the "IP space returned by IXPs".
