• LIR can receive one /22 (1,024 IPv4 addresses), even if they can justify a larger allocation

• Both new and existing LIRs

• LIRs must already have an IPv6 allocation from an upstream LIR or the RIPE NCC

• over 4,400 /22 issued so far

!

• No new IPv4 Provider Independent (PI) address space

• Three different types of Intra-RIR transfers:

• Mergers and acquisitions

• Transfers of allocations

• Legacy space transfers

Need More IPv4 Address Space?


14

• If an organisation (or part of it) is being sold, the Internet number resources in use by its network can be transferred

• Documentation requested:

• Merger/purchase agreement

• Company registration papers for both parties

• New “Independent Assignment Request and Maintenance Agreement” (only for Provider Independent resources)

• Based on procedural document ripe-595

Mergers and Acquisitions

• Policy requirements

• Only between LIRs

• The LIR must confirm it will make assignment(s) from the allocation

• Transfer can be permanent or temporary

• List of transferred allocations is published

• Documentation requested:

• Company registration papers for both parties

• Based on procedural document ripe-622, section 5.5

• Member only service through the LIR Portal

• Enables LIRs to:

• Offer address space

• Request address space

• Currently:

• 874,496 IPs offered

• Some members may decide to use a broker to facilitate the transfer process

!

• Listing of “Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers”

• Brokers who have signed an agreement to follow

• RIPE policies

• RIPE NCC procedures

• These brokers are not endorsed by the RIPE NCC and do not act on behalf of the RIPE NCC

!

• Support you in protecting your resources!

Where Does the RIPE NCC Stand?


23

Our ultimate priority is keeping the

registry up-to-date!

Where Does the RIPE NCC Stand?


24

• IPv4 addresses are becoming more valuable

• Criminals will try any methods to obtain control over address blocks:

• Faking registration and identity papers

• Forged stamps and signatures

• Faking entire websites and domains

• RIPE NCC has to do more thorough checks:

• Extra time to process requests

• Please cooperate in supplying the required documents

Increased Risk for Hijacks


25

If acquiring resources, ensure you are in contact with the legitimate holder or representative

• Policy proposal 2014-05 - ‘Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources’ • Policy proposal would allow the transfer of Internet number

resources from an LIR of another Regional Internet Registry (RIR) to an entity or LIR within the RIPE NCC service region

!

• Policy proposal 2014-02 - ‘Allow IPv4 PI transfer’ • Policy proposal would allow holders of Provider Independent (PI) IPv4

addresses to transfer those to other organisations

Policy Proposals and Transfers
