The RIPE NCC is now allocating IPv4 address space to its members (LIRs) from the last /8 (185/8) that was allocated to the RIPE NCC by IANA. IPv4 addresses from this /8 are allocated according to section 5.6 of “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region”. No more IPv4 Anycast can be assigned.
This document contains instructions for LIRs on how to complete the "Anycast Assignment Request Form Link: /publications/docs/ripe-473/ ".
The instructions are based on the "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy for the RIPE Region Link: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html ", the "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy Link: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6policy.html " and also "RFC 4786 Link: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4786.txt ".

legal-organisation-name: North Santa NIC
tld(s) or ENUM delegation(s): com biz nn

The End User should be a recognised TLD or ENUM Tier 1 operator, as listed in these documents:

% Will the End User return any address space?

If you are an LIR sending this request on behalf of an End User, you should answer 'Yes' in the "end-user-of-sponsoring-lir" field.
If you answered "Yes" you should also confirm that all of the elements of paragraph 2.0 of "Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region Link: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/contract-req.html " are listed in the 'End User Assignment Agreement' that is signed by the End User and the sponsoring LIR. Anycast assignments can only be made to End Users if there is a signed 'End User Assignment Agreement' between the sponsoring LIR and the End User.
You can find an example agreement at http://www.ripe.net/membership/lir-end-user-agreement.html Link: /manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/number-resources/independent-resources/independent-assignment-request-and-maintenance-agreement/ .
You can send us an agreement in your local language or use the English version.
If this request is sent by a Direct Assignment User, you answer "No" to the above two questions. Direct Assignment Users have already signed an 'End User Assignment Agreement' with the RIPE NCC. If the request is for an LIR, you should also answer with "No".
Enter the legal name of the organisation that will use the anycast assignment in the "legal-organisation-name:" field and list all of their TLDs (Top-Level Domains) in the "tld(s):" field.
Enter the primary location of the organisation in the "organisation-location:" field and, if they have a website, enter the URL in the "website-if-available:" field.
If the End User already has address space in use for anycast, list this in the "space-available:" field.
If there is any address space assigned to the End User that they will return, list each prefix in separate " address-space-returned: " fields.
The expected time for renumbering is three months. You can use the following syntax: <x.x.x.x/xx> to <which LIR/ISP> in <time period> for this field.
Initial Information
#[INITIAL INFORMATION]#

% Does the End User accept the policies on anycast assignments?
% http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html
% http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6policy.html (Yes/No)
confirmation: Yes
% Is the End User requesting an IPv4 assignment, an IPv6
% assignment, or both? (IPv4/IPv6/Both)
ip-version: Both
% If the End User is requesting an IPv4 assignment, will the TLD
% nameserver set apply anycasting as described in BCP126/RFC4786?
% http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4786.txt (Yes/No)
rfc4786: Yes
The End User must read the IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies Link: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html and/or the IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy Link: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6-policy.html , and in particular the sections that refer to anycast assignments. Enter 'yes' in the "confirmation:" field if the End User agrees to follow these policies.
We need to know whether the End User would like us (RIPE NCC) to make an IPv4 assignment or an IPv6 assignment. If they need both, enter 'Both' in the "ip-version:" field and make any additional comments in the "Network Description" section.
If the End User is requesting an IPv4 assignment, please check that their TLD nameserver set conforms to the practices outlined in RFC 4786 Link: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4786.txt .

In the "Node Name" column, enter the name of each node.
In the "Peers" column, enter the AS Numbers of the peers for each node.
In the "Location" column, enter the primary location of the node.
If needed, you can write more detailed descriptions of any of the fields in the "Network Description" section.
Network Description

% this request.
We plan to provide anycasting from Santa City and Rudolf Town. The peers at Santa City IX are listed at http://www.scix.nn/peers and the peers at Rudolf Town IX are listed at http://www.rtix.nn/peers.
You can use this space for additional information that you think will be helpful for us when we evaluate your request. A clearer understanding of the End User's addressing needs can help us to evaluate your request more quickly.
Supporting Documentation
#[SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION]#

% If this request being sent by a sponsoring LIR on behalf of an
% End User, please attach a copy of the signed "End User
% Assignment Agreement" and the company registration papers of the
% End User.

file-attached: Yes
For each anycast assignment that is requested through a sponsoring LIR for an End User, we need to receive a copy of 'End User Assignment Agreement' and the company registration papers of the End User.
If this request is for an LIR or a "Direct Assignment User", you do not have to attach a copy of 'End User Assignment Agreement' and company registration papers.
A network diagram (topology map) can help us to understand the set-up of the network and its addressing needs.
