Hi Dave, there are two ways possibe to accomplish this as I'd take the policies. First would be as your question was: You could apply for a (additional) /19 allocation and assign it to your customer. Later on when they've become a LIR themselves you can contact NCC for transfer of this allocation to your customers LIR. I've not found any detailed information ad hoc but in document RIPE-301 (intended for mergers, take-overs and so on) is the possibility of transferring a resource mentioned without any direct relationship to closure or merger of the originating LIR. Second is what I think would be the most 'correct' way to do this: Some time ago (if my memory's right it's about 1 1/2 years ago) RIPE added the option for assignments as 'SUB-ALLOCATION' which on a quick glance is exactly what you plan to do: hand a larger address range to another network operator for assignment to customers without him being a LIR himself. Just check document RIPE-324 for this. Just check the documents (especially 324) and maybe contact lir-help for their opinion on this. And please keep your hands off doing PI for this. Although /19 PI wouldn't make any difference to /19 PA within the routing tables, your customer won't be able to do any sub-assignments with registering them in the RIPE database using PI. I wouldn't want to get SPAM notifications for a /19 bunch of addresses only because I'm not able to add distinguished contacts for address ranges handed to customers. regards, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------- mainzkom Telekommunikation GmbH Ein Unternehmen der Tropolys-Gruppe Network Engineering and Administration mainzkom / maineotk / pulsaar Tel: +49-(0)6131/129343 | Fax: +49-(0)6131/129321 Mombacher Str. 40, 55122 Mainz, Germany --------------------------------------------------------- AS15837 | MG3031-RIPE --------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Bell" <dbell at redwingsat.com> To: <address-policy-wg at ripe.net> Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 11:17 AM Subject: [address-policy-wg] Allocation transfer > Hi all, > > uk.redwing is a small LIR, providing internet via satellite.
