Our case: we don't have PA-allocated space. but we have many clients who need IPs. We found ISP who won't make transfer, while this is not very simple procedure, but ready to make sub-allocation. 

 

Current policy allows to do suballocations, but maximum size is /20 every twelve months for one ISP. This is too small count.

 

I suggest: remove restrictions for size of network and period (possibility to suballocate without any restractions instead of twelve months ).

 

Pros:

1. No any work for RIPE (transfers requered additional work from RIPE side)

2. Simple and fast. Just register sub-allocation in RIPE Database.

3. Allow effective and fast use IPv4 space.

 

I think in nearest time question of using IP-addresees from other ISP will be very popular and the more simple to use IPv4 addresses from other LIRs is better for community.

 

This idea was presented on Address Policy Working Group, Thursday 27 Sep, RIPE 65, Amsterdam.
