The RIPE Network Coordination Centre now handles all requests for IP insert:  
network numbers from European organisations. Our aim is to provide a insert:  
rapid and efficient service to all European organisations. As this is insert:  
a recent initiative, procedures for handling network number requests are insert:  
in the process of being established. Therefore we apologise in advance insert:  
for any duplication of effort that may be required by you due to new insert:  
forms and templates. As the European NIC, we require different insert:  
information to that required by the US and for it to be presented in a insert:  
format which is both easy for you to complete and for us to process. insert:  
Before your application can be processed any further, you will need to insert:  
complete the enclosed templates and return them to the appropriate insert:  
organisation responsible for issuing IP network numbers. In most cases insert:  
this will be your IP service provider or the RIPE NCC. Before insert:  
completion of the template, please be sure to read the following text insert:  
and examples carefully which will guide you. insert:  
insert:  
A new classless IP addressing scheme called CIDR has recently been obsoleted insert:  
adopted to cope with routing table growth and address space exhaustion insert:  
problems in the Internet. Under this scheme it is beneficial for insert:  
everyone to get their network numbers allocated via their respective insert:  
IP service providers. Your IP service provider is the organisation insert:  
providing external connectivity to your network. If you are planning insert:  
to connect your network to other networks outside your organisation in insert:  
the foreseeable future we strongly urge you to get numbers allocated insert:  
from your current or prospective IP service provider. Alternatively, if insert:  
this is not likely, then you will be allocated a number from a different insert:  
part of the address space by the RIPE NCC. Please pay careful attention insert:  
to this matter. insert:  
insert:  
Class A and B network numbers are a scarce resource and some insert:  
justification in terms of expected network size and structure will be insert:  
needed before such a number can be allocated. Class A numbers will only insert:  
be assigned to networks which technically need more than 65000 hosts to insert:  
be on one network number. A detailed technical justification is needed, insert:  
review takes place on a global scale and the allocation process can take insert:  
several months. Similarly due to the RIPE NCC reaching the last /8 class B scarcity, a reasonable number insert:  
of IPv4 address space. delete: </a> delete:  delete:  delete: <img src="./resolveuid/1f075ef0-1420-4b37-95a9-b77d6721138b" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" data-val="1f075ef0-1420-4b37-95a9-b77d6721138b" data-linktype="image" /> delete:  delete: <pre> % Provider Independent (PI) Assignment Request Form delete:   delete:   % RIPE NCC members (LIRs) and Direct Assignment Users class C numbers will be assigned over class B. If you can engineer insert:  
your network to use this form delete:   % to request a PI assignment. Please see "Supporting Notes for the delete:   % Provider Independent (PI) Assignment Request Form" for instructions on delete:   % how to complete this form. delete:   % http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/pi-requestsupport.html delete:   % delete:   % multiple class C numbers, it is strongly advised. insert:  
Please note that the End User should have a signed "End User delete:   % Assignment Agreement" this is contrary to earlier recommendations where it insert:  
was recommended to use Bs over multiple Cs due to routing table size insert:  
constraints. A one page document detailing the information needed by insert:  
the NCC to evaluate requests for class B numbers is available from the insert:  
NCC if it is not enclosed with either the sponsoring LIR or this letter; this document also includes insert:  
a list of recommended reading about CIDR and address allocation in insert:  
general. insert:  
insert:  
Appended to this letter is a blank template for IP number registration, insert:  
which we would be extremely grateful if you complete and return to the insert:  
appropriate organisation responsible for issuing IP network numbers. In insert:  
most cases this will be your IP service provider. It may of course also insert:  
be the RIPE NCC.
