Introduction to Internet Resources

As a Regional Internet Registry, the RIPE NCC can allocate and assign Internet Resources (IPv4 and IPv6 address space, Autonomous System (AS) Numbers and Reverse DNS delegations) to its members (LIRs).

Resource Requests

In order to request IP addresses and AS Numbers you need to become a member of the RIPE NCC.
You can submit requests for IP address space and AS Numbers through the LIR Portal or by e-mail.

Request for Reverse DNS delegations or delegations under ENUM (delegation of a zone under e164.arpa) do not require membership of the RIPE NCC.

Training Courses

We provide a range of training opportunities to all our members. They will give you a better understanding of:

• RIPE policies;
• RIPE NCC procedures; and
• the RIPE Database

making your experience faster and more pleasant.

You can use the training modules in our E-Learning Centre whenever, and as often as you want. Additionally, you can attend a course, where you will be able to meet and talk with trainers as well as with other LIRs.

About Quality Auditing

We actively check the quality and validity of registry data and make sure that we apply assignment guidelines equally. Audit activity promotes the consistent and fair application of assignment criteria with regard to the registration and conservation of address space and aggregation of routing information. This activity also helps identify procedures that cause difficulties. Impartiality, quality and confidentiality will be of highest priority.
