FAQ: Charging Scheme 2011

—
Show or Hide answer What is the main difference between the Charging Scheme 2010 and the Charging Scheme 2011? →
  • The first /32 IPv6 address space allocation will not add points to the total billing score
  • Independent resource assignments made on the same day and to the same end-user will only be charged once.
Show or Hide answer What are independent resources? →

Independent resources are Provider Independent (PI) IPv4 and IPv6, Internet Exchange Point (IXP), AS number and anycasting assignments. These resources have a fixed price in the Charging Scheme 2011.

Provider Aggregatable (PA) allocations are not considered independent and these will be charged to conform to the billing score algorithm as in previous years.

Show or Hide answer Am I charged for independent resources from previous years registered under my LIR? →

Yes. All independent resources registered under your LIR are taken into account.

We only charge for independent resources that were assigned to your LIR on 30 September 2010. Until 20 September 2010, you were given the option to declare via the LIR Portal which resources you held. For 2011, you are charged for those resources you use for your own infrastructure as well as for those resources assigned to your customers.

Show or Hide answer Will the RIPE NCC charge the same amount for all assignments, no matter what size they are? →

Yes. We charge EUR 50 for each Provider Independent (PI) IPv4 and IPv6, AS Number, Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and anycasting assignment.

Show or Hide answer What can I do if the End User that used the independent resources is no longer my customer? →

A registered contact can send an email to hostmaster _at_ ripe _dot_ net with the request to mark the resources as "not my end-user". If you select this option, the independent resources will be marked and excluded from your LIR's 2011 Charging Scheme.

The end-user should find another sponsoring LIR within 90 days.

Show or Hide answer I am a Direct Assignment User and I hold independent resources. What will I be charged for these resources? →

Direct Assignment Users are charged the standard € 1,300 maintenance fee only.
