IPv4 Transfers - General Overview
RIPE NCC members can transfer IPv4 address space between organisations within the RIPE NCC service region.
This section gives a general overview on IPv4 address space transfers.
Before looking into transfers, members can check whether they are eligible to receive a final /22 allocation of IPv4 address space directly from the RIPE NCC.
Different Kinds of Transfers
Broadly speaking, transfers of IPv4 address space fall into three categories:
- A transfer between members of PA IPv4 address space that was previously allocated by the RIPE NCC
- A transfer of address space by way of a merger or acquisition
- A transfer of legacy address space that was originally allocated prior to the existence of the RIPE NCC
All three kinds of transfer are possible under existing RIPE Policy. Each type is handled differently, and the relevant sections provide more detail.
