IPv6 Policy Clarification - Initial allocation criteria "c)"
by Laura Cobley 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Dear Colleagues, As explained in the email sent on Mon, 14 Jun 2004: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/address-policy-wg/2004/msg00240.html This is the second mail request for clarification of the IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy. Below is an excerpt from the IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy: 5.1.1. Initial allocation criteria "c)" "To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organisation must [...] plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organisations to which it will assign /48s by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation" LIRs who operate closed/private networks appear not to qualify because the address space in these networks will not be advertised. Was this the community's intention? Best Regards, Laura Cobley Registration Services RIPE NCC

Hello, This is the LIR of Cameroon telecommunications (CAMTEL), There is an ISP which have a space address allocated to him by RIPE, at the beginning he was a customer of another ISP (LIR).

ISPs selling IP address space
by Pekka Savola 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi, Let's assume an organization would qualify for e.g., /25 address allocation. When obtaining Internet connectivity, the ISP gives two offers, for example: - 100 EUR/mo for a /27 - 200 EUR/mo for a /25 (otherwise the terms are same, and the technical implementation is the same.) I recall this is not allowed. Are there any recourses in this kind situations? Threaten the ISP with LIR audit? ;-) The last RIPE document which seems to say that IP address must not be sold is RIPE-185 (AFAIR), which has been obsoleted -- the newer address policy documents seem to be quiet about this. RIPE-185 said: [under Publishing Local IR Policy] 2) Charging Policies A Local IR must publish its charging policy. The policy is defined in ripe-152 [Norris96a]: "Address space is a finite resource with no intrinsic value and direct costs cannot be ascribed to it. While they may not charge for address space as such, registries may charge for their administrative and technical ser- vices. Registries must publish their operating procedures and details of the services they offer and the conditions and terms that apply, including scales of tariffs if applicable." -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
