As requested … —- Dear Thomas, My name is Claudiu Foleanu from TENNET TELECOM and Interlan Association (We hosted RIPE71 in Romania). I have tried now for a couple of days to post to this topic but for some reason i cannot. I have already mailed ripe-ncc to check this issue. This topic is very important to us and we wish to contribute to it. Can you post this message for me? I have no other solution for this message to reach the members. Thanks so much. Best regards, Claudiu Foleanu ----------------------------------------------- Hi, We in Romania trough Interlan Association are complaining about the issues regarding ipv4 "market" (witch seems to be supported by the community) for over 1 year now. We had a consultant from RIPE in Bucharest and we detailed each and every issue regarding this problem. Ipv4 / Ipv6 was not created for people to make money. It was created to ensure communication between people. Don`t get me wrong, we are not against the market, the unused resources should be redistributed somehow (ripe-ncc,market). But we should take care and ensure that new entities can have IPv4 ip space. RIPE-NCC should request usability reports from every LIR at least once every year. Unused resources should be redistributed. Three times over the last couple of years we have lost ip space witch was rented from other LIR`s. Or had to pay a huge amount of money to transfer them. Three times now we had to renumber and remake the topology of the network in order to support the loss. Why are we not using more IPV6? Facebook is ipv6 akamai,google ok.. Nice. But we have over 10.000 divices routers,switches,etc.. witch do not support ipv6. And we are talking just about customer related devices. Their own home routers,switches,ip phones etc... We should convince China and the manufacturers to build software ipv6 ready! We already tried and it`s not that easy. One manufacturer asked for 200.000 usd in order to redo the software ipv6 ready for some routers. Ask VODAFONE why are they buying ipv4. The answer will be the same. Customers do not have ipv6 ready devices, or they have to many of their own devices ipv6 not ready. You should ask the customers of the LIRS if it was ok to get their ipv4 allocated space taken away by a notification received by email. Big companies should not be allowed to transfer ipv4 to their lir if they do not have at least 30 - 50% implementation on ipv6. We are putting the burden of the costs on the back of start-ups and leaving the big companies to profit on this market. I`m not quite sure what prompted this discussion but i`m glad it`s out! You should look into address space witch left Romania. I can tell you that over 50% at least of that address space was in use. I now get 3 -5 emails each day from small companies in Romania asking for address space. But we have none to give. We have allocated everything in order to try to help! Our solution: You make a new lir to get a /22 ok, then you cannot sell the ip address space. If the lir is for whatever reason closed the ip address space should be requested back. Nobody will create a new lir for a /22 and pay the fees required if the address space given it`s tied to that lir, it will just be to expensive.

Hello RIPE supports reselling of big subnets by providing their Transfer listing service. Those networks shouldn’t be sold. They should be returned to the NCC pool and be assigned to providers who need them.

That's good conversation. I'm representing VPS service company. We bought multiple /20 and /21 subnets at last 2 years. But actually there really big injustice exists here! I've followed all RIPE guidance and request resources only when they really required for next 3-6 months. I have 95% subnet utilization in each network! All my IP addresses really used. But I known so much LIR's who just ignore RIPE rules and requested bunch of /18, /16 networks many years ago.... just because they can. Right now almost all this networks are on IPv4 market. And I should pay my money to persons which violated RIPE rules for a long time. Than't really weird, isn't it?

There were comments at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) in November 2015 that members having the ability to open additional LIR accounts, each of which can request a /22 of IPv4 address space, may run against the spirit of the last /8 policy. In light of this, the Board decided to temporarily suspend the ability of RIPE NCC members to open additional LIR accounts. The RIPE NCC began to allocate IPv4 address space from the last /8 policy on 14 September 2012. Since that time the RIPE NCC has allocated more than 8,600 /22s, yet there remains 0.94 of a /8 still in the pool. ACTION REQUIRED: The Board asks the membership to provide their opinion on and discuss the following points: 1. Is the activity of members opening additional LIR accounts a problem that must be prevented? 2. If this activity is a problem that must be prevented, what action should the RIPE NCC take to attempt its prevention? Statistics pertinent to this discussion are available in this article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/laura_cobley/ripe-ncc-members-and-multiple-li… <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/laura_cobley/ripe-ncc-members-and-multiple-li…> &pk_kwd=list-ncc The Board asks that members discuss this issue on the Members Discuss mailing list . The Board will monitor the discussion and will review it at the next Executive Board Meeting on 31 March 2016. Depending on the outcome of that meeting, the Board may propose a resolution for members to vote on at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2016.

First of all, I think we all should agree that current debates are all about abusing LIR creation procedure to get extra IPs. Why some percent of members was trying to explain here their reasons why they can't use IPv6. Relatively to the main discussion in short: I believe we can do nothing to prevent different types of abusing for a 'long distance'. They've asked whether the activity of members opening additional LIR accounts is a problem that must be prevented? Sure it is, RIPE can block requests from existing LIRs, or add some extra payments for such procedure. The second option actually is nothing but a small delay to the times until the prices for IPv4 will be higher than LIR charges. As mentioned earlier, if we just block an ability to create LIR for an existing member, it's definitely not a problem to register new companies. It is not even necessary to create a new company, almost everyone can open paint application and create all needed documents. RIPE has no ability to validate somehow whether the documents are juridical correct or not, including merging/sell documents. The principles of honesty, responsibility and reasonableness are fading when money comes to play. IPv4 address space is already monetized and we can't fight with or deny this fact. Besides, I don't agree that any types of audit can help here. This procedure requires huge effort not only from RIPE employees but from LIR engineers too, in large LIRs it may be prolonged for indeterminable time. Estimating effectiveness of every particular LIR address space and attempts to retrieve some IPv4, could lead RIPE to become a regulator not a coordinator. It's a good idea to check ARIN policies applied to their last block, and may be adopt some paragraphs. Some basic principles that are emphasized: - Documentation, network schemes and so on are strongly required for any allocation. In contrast with ARIN, RIPE just give /22 to any new member. - Necessity to provide data demonstrating utilization of this space (immediately and after one year) Summarizing all above, I think RIPE should prevent any IPv4 address allocations (including new LIR members) without complete plans, schemes and demonstrations of necessity and effectiveness. May be RIPE can afford one dedicated engineer being responsible for analyze such plans. Still it must be clear that complete IPv4 exhaustion is just the question of time, no matter how hard RIPE put the screws on allocation procedure. Alex Klimenko Digital Network NOC

to come back to the debate about multiple LIR’s and ip space, let me play devil’s advocate for a second :) why don’t we want to allow final IPv4 space to be consumed as quickly as reasonably possible reserving only some final space as required for critical infrastructure needs? (critical infrastructure might be considered as things like as internet exchange points or verified root DNS servers etc) Yes this would drive up the grey/black market prices and there will be some people that take advantage of this and find creative ways around the various soft landing policies in place globally (this problem isn’t unique to RIPE specifically) for a quick $£ etc however the flip side of this is an enforced shortage of IPv4 because of its consumption will also force people to actually act on getting onto IPv6 properly once and for all. lets not try and prolong the life of a terminally ill patient that is IPv4 - lets give it the IP/Networking equivalent of a Do Not Resuscitate and just let it run out and focus our efforts on building proper IPv6 plans and rolling them out and supporting the IPv6 transition methods like 6to4-PT or similar the increasing price of IPv4 address is really a short to medium term problem because the market would ultimately reach a limit where its much more financially viable to roll out IPv6 network upgrades and infrastructure if not existing already than to purchase grey IP's Anthony Somerset, Technical Director, w: cloudunboxed.net <http://www.cloudunboxed.net/> | e: anthony.somerset(a)cloudunboxed.net <mailto:anthony.somerset@cloudunboxed.net> | t: +44 (0)33 0088 2444 Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Just make the price higher than the market rate, the speculators will go elsewhere. The new LIR will have to pay market rate for any further space anyway so should plan accordingly I'd rather all this was not needed but if there is a game people will play it. Nobody should be surprised brandon

Obviously a very perverse consequence of the abandon of the public ressource to this market. I do not see any other solution for you than to go into justice because of an obviously unfair behavior of your provider. Regarding the Ripe policies, maybe we should try to prevent this by having the previous user of a given range to have some precedence for buying the range, if the LIR is willing to transfer it. And price should be very low compared to the market, otherwise this is door opening to extorsion. This would prevent, if not such speculative misbehaviors, at least disastrous situations for the End Users. Another option would be to apply penalties of some kind when a LIR breaks such a contract (meaning, an IP lease contract, not related to other services). Best regards, S.
