The diagram below outlines the three phases of reaching the last /8. Please also see the RIPE NCC's principles of transparency, fairness and consistency
Phase 2 - now.
We are now assigning IPv4 address space from the last /8. We entered this phase on 14 September 2012.
- All remaining requests for IPv4 address space that were in the wait queue on 14 September were frozen. An email was then sent to all those in the wait queue informing them that the RIPE NCC is now allocating IPv4 space from the last /8. Eligible LIRs were offered a one time /22 according to section 5.6 of “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region”.
- All members, stakeholders and the media were informed that the RIPE NCC is now allocating IPv4 space from the last /8.
- All requests are now being completed according to section 5.6 of “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region”. This section states that an LIR may receive only a /22 (1,024 IPv4 addresses), even if they can justify a larger allocation. This /22 allocation will only be made to LIRs if they have already received an IPv6 allocation from an upstream LIR or the RIPE NCC. No new IPv4 Provider Independent (PI) space will be assigned.
