0 likes14 views
The document summarizes insights from Alena Muravska of the RIPE NCC about navigating IP addresses. It provides statistics on Internet number resources allocated to Poland by the RIPE NCC, including that Poland has 687 members and 737 LIRs. It discusses the depletion of IPv4 addresses and the new IPv4 allocation policy, noting that 32 Polish LIRs are currently waiting in the IPv4 waiting list. It also covers IPv6 allocations and assignments for members and non-members, and provides graphs on IPv4 holdings and IPv6 capability in Poland.

- 10. Alena Muravska | iNET Meeting | 19 March 2024 If You Need More IPv4 Addresses • IPv4 allocations: - Can be transferred between LIRs - 24-month holding period after a transfer • IPv4 Provider Independent (PI) Assignments: - Can be between LIRs and End Users • Based on the current RIPE Resource Transfer Policy • Inter-RIR transfers are now possible 10
- 11. Alena Muravska | iNET Meeting | 19 March 2024 Transfers: Check in Advance! • Completed transfers published on our website: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/transfers/ipv4/ ipv4-transfer-statistics • RIPE NCC Transfer History RIPEstat - Transfer widget: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/ripe-transfer-history - Registration check (prefix): https://stat.ripe.net/app/use-cases/prefix/registration- check/ - Registration check (single IP) https://stat.ripe.net/app/use-cases/ip/registration-check/ 11
- 12. Alena Muravska | iNET Meeting | 19 March 2024 Be Aware of the Risks • “Buying” or “renting” of IPv4 - check what this means • RIPE Policies must be applicable • Protect yourself! - Verify contacts of transferring party - Verify if transferring company is active - Verify if transferring party is the legitimate holder - Verify if resources are eligible for transfer (IPv4 Transfer Statistics) • We are here to help and to provide guidance • Contact us via lir-help@ripe.net 12
