Contracts for Independent Resource
Holders
• Independent Resources
- PI address space (IPv4 and IPv6, IXP IPv6, Anycast)
- AS Numbers
• Annual fees for Independent Resources
• Implementation – phased approach:
- Phase 1: new assignments (March 2009)
- Phase 2: existing assignments (ongoing)
- Phase 3: RIPE NCC will directly contact End Users

Existing Independent Assignments
• End User choices (since Q2 2009):
- Sign contract with their original LIR
- Find a new sponsoring LIR
- Become an Direct Assignment User
- Become an LIR
- Return the resource (address space or ASN)

11. RIPE Network Coordination Centre
To Obtain an IPv6 Allocation
• Your organisation must be an LIR
• Have a plan for making assignments within two
years
• Minimum allocation size: /32
• For further allocations:
- Previous allocations should be used by HD ratio of 0.86
- The unit of measurement is /56
Arne Kiessling Netnod Meeting 18 February 2010 http://www.ripe.net 11

12. RIPE Network Coordination Centre
If You’re Not An LIR?
• Get a sub-allocation from an LIR
• Get a Provider Aggregatable (PA) assignment from
an LIR:
- /48 or /56 for End User sites
- /64 for one subnet
- /128 for hosts
• Apply for a Provider Independent (PI) IPv6
assignment from the RIPE NCC

13. RIPE Network Coordination Centre
IPv6 in the Routing Registry
• RPSLng compliant:
- RIPE Database
- IRRToolset: RtConfig
• Create “route6” objects for your IPv6 allocations
- Example lookup: whois -r -m -T route6 2001::/18
• Describe routing policy in mp-import: / mp-export:
