/24 in Europe, AP and North America?
This may have been covered before but I'm not sure. I have a client that needs a /24 in Europe, a /24 in AP and a /24 in North America - all for multihoming purposes (in each area). If he becomes a RIPE member, can he get the 3 /24s and 3 ASNs of which only one set will be used in Europe? Or just get the /19 like everyone else, and carve it into 3 chunks and route them each from a different area? Thanks, Hank

It's normally a /21, which is enough for eight /24 networks - with a caveat. Some networks, to reduce the effects of deaggregation on their routing table size, will filter on the cidr boundaries that RIPE use as minimum allocation size. If you went down the PA route, the addresses would come from a range which some people filter to a /21 smallest subnet size. If you go down the PI route, you will be burning through less IP space and additionally will get your addresses from a range that people are less likely to filter /24s in. Andy
Hank, it seems you are <s>probably our future customer</s> fit all demands just to have 3 /24 PI. You will not waste /21 then. By the way, 1 AS number will be enough for all three points. Hank Nussbacher wrote:

Max, is far as I know Your company provide services for RIPE region only. According to Address Policy and original message that guys should asks each /24 PI from APNIC, RIPE NCC and ARIN. You couldn't help them without RIPE Policy violation. In other hand, becoming LIR and allocation split doesn't conflicts with Policy. Moreover, LIR may asks for just /22 allocation that will fits actual needs.
