Since July 1995, GRNET is RIPE’s Local Internet Registry (LIR). The LIR mediates between GRNET’s customers and RIPE for applications requesting allocation of address space or autonomous system number. For “small” assignments of Provider Aggregate (PA) address space, the local registrar may directly assign a range of addresses that have been earmarked for this purpose by RIPE, following the necessary procedures and updates the relevant assignments to RIPE’s database.<\/p>\n
\u03a4he service activities include:<\/p>\n
Eligible users<\/strong><\/p>\n The service is addressed to either existing or newly connected to GRNET entities. The service targets primarily new entities which, if they do not own AS number yet, they should be allocated with one in order to enable BGP with GRNET, and be provided with IP address space (v4\/v6) for their internal network. Furthermore, entities wishing to modify the aforementioned data, typically for extending their allocated address space are also eligible users of the service.<\/p><\/div> How to apply<\/strong><\/p>\n Applications for the allocation or for the return of IP (v4 or v6) or allocation of public or private AS number can be done by completing the “IP and autonomous system number allocation form”. The form should be completed with accuracy and honesty in order to ensure quick processing of the application.<\/p>\n Entities requesting Provider Independent (PI) or a public AS number should sign (only once) a contract for the allocation and maintenance of the independent resources.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> Operation policy<\/strong><\/p>\n RIPE always reserves the right to assess if the allocation of the address space is done properly. If the required criteria are not met (compliance with RIPE’s regulations such as the maintenance of the necessary data to the who is database, or the use of address space based on the original plan outlined in the application, etc.), RIPE reserves the right to cancel the allocation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>Useful Links<\/strong><\/h4>\n
