If there is any address space assigned to this End User that is not in use, indicate this in the "space-available" field. If you answer "yes", you can explain why the End User needs another assignment of address space in the "Network Description" section section. insert: </p>

confirmation: insert: <strong> Yes. insert: </strong>
In the " why-pi: " field, explain why PA address space cannot be used for this assignment. Remember that you should encourage the use of PA address space where possible.
You cannot request a larger assignment of address space than needed as conservation is one of the most important goals of the Internet Registry System. You can state whether you are requesting more address space than needed in the " routing-reasons: " field.
You must ensure that the End User understands and accepts that PI address space may be more difficult or more expensive to route than PA address space and then confirm this in the " confirmation: " field. You can find more details on the consequences and disadvantages of PI address space in the document "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy for the RIPE NCC Service Region".

You can change the time periods if needed. order to demonstrate the predicted growth of your network, you must provide an estimate of the address space you will require over three distinct periods: Immediate, Intermediate and the Entire period. Your estimates should include interfaces used for hosts, routers, gateways, terminal concentrators and any other machines requiring one or more network interfaces. These columns can either contain numbers (for example, 128) or slash notation prefixes (for example, /25). Multiple slash notation prefixes must be separated by comma(s) with no blank spaces (for example, /25,/27). insert: <br />
