To my knowledge RIPE doesn't have a list of members categorized by assignment size, so this is something that someone would need to parse the RIPE db for, it's all public record so it can be done.
Counting all allocated IPv4 each LIR has, and converting it back to CIDR: CIDR Number of LIRs <= /24 1 <= /23 4 <= /22 6051 <= /21 1582 <= /20 1638 <= /19 1547 <= /18 1040 <= /17 709 <= /16 386 <= /15 293 <= /14 134 <= /13 110 <= /12 80 <= /11 64 <= /10 25 <= /9 14 <= /8 6 <= /7 2 IPv6 only 241 If we were to take ARIN's fees as example where up to and including /20 is less expensive than RIPE's current fees, 9276 out of the 13686 LIRs with IPv4 would pay less. Not just new ones... Total income would be similar. Yours sincerely, Floris Bos
