Does one of you know whether this is explicitely documented for AS and PI distribution?
We have the following for PI address space in the IPv4 policy, which can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html#pa_pi "The RIPE NCC no longer allocates PI address space. Consequently, many LIRs do not have PI allocations from which to make PI assignments. If an LIR has an End User that requires PI address space they are able to support them by sending these requests to the RIPE NCC on behalf of the End User. This support includes helping End Users prepare a properly documented request. The RIPE NCC will make PI assignments when justified." The AS policy document is more explicit: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asn-assignment.html#requesting "The RIPE NCC assigns AS Numbers for Autonomous Systems located in the RIPE NCC service region and only accepts requests for AS Numbers from LIRs. LIRs may request AS Numbers on behalf of other organisations." Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC
