Return of Legacy Space
by Axel Pawlik 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Dear colleagues, In preparation for the ratification of "Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA" (GPP-IPv4-2011) by the ICANN Board of Directors, we will remove from the available pool of IPv4 address space the IPv4 legacy space that has been returned to the RIPE NCC by various members. 1,368,576 IPv4 addresses were removed from the available pool of IPv4 address space on 14 March, 2012. It is intended that any IPv4 legacy space returned to the RIPE NCC will be placed in IANA's Recovered IPv4 Pool. Until now, legacy space returned to the RIPE NCC has been returned to the RIPE NCC's IPv4 available pool but is not re-distributed. By removing the legacy space from the RIPE NCC's IPv4 available pool, a more accurate overview of the actual space that can be distributed can be seen. As legacy space was distributed before the RIR system was introduced, the RIPE NCC does not have any policy governing the re-distribution of returned legacy space. We believe that placing this legacy space in the IANA's Recovered IPv4 Pool for redistribution to the RIRs will contribute to the future well-being of the Internet. The Global Policy can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-529 More information about the policy and the ratification process can be found at: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-26apr11-en.htm The total amount of available IPv4 space that the RIPE NCC holds can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv4-exhaustion/ipv4-available-po… Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Introducing the IP Analyser
by Alex Band 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is proud to introduce the IP Analyser. It has been available as a preview in the LIR Portal for several weeks, but now it's time to properly introduce this brand new service that gives our members an insight into their IPv4 and IPv6 allocations and assignments. The ultimate goal is to offer a complete overview of all the IP resources you hold and inform you about everything related to them. The first release of the IP Analyser offers a basic feature set. We will then add new features incrementally going forward. More details can be found on RIPE Labs at: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/introducing-the-ip-analyser We encourage you to provide us with feedback on the IP Analyser by clicking the "Feedback" button in the LIR Portal. Your input helps us determine what new functionality to develop over the course of the year. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
