When a LIR is assigned address space for example a /19 they must allocate the address ranges in blocks of /24 if they have unused space for a period of 12 months then any remaining space is returned automatically. The LIR can apply for more space if required in the future but must prove they need them and will be used within the period of 12 months. An address block may only be allocated if it's going to be used within the next 3 months, if not you must not allocate the block from your address space. A /24 must be 80% used before allocating a second block -----Original Message----- From: members-discuss [mailto:members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net] On Behalf Of REG ID: pl.skonet Sent: 14 May 2018 08:34 To: pdonner@znak.fi; members-discuss@ripe.net Subject: Re: [members-discuss] VL: IP transfer (in)security W dniu 14.05.2018 o 09:25, Philip Donner pisze:
I would like to amplify Dave's good proposal, by suggesting that unused addresses should be handed back to RIPE, so that they can be added to a pool of addresses reserved for LIRs who needs them for non-profit promotion of IP networks.
Ok, but there is never ending story to resolve: how to define 'unused addresses'. Because not announced in BGP definitely != not used. -- Tomasz Śląski pl.skonet _______________________________________________ members-discuss mailing list members-discuss@ripe.net https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/members-discuss Unsubscribe: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/options/members-discuss/dave%40it-communicati...
