Hi, > These models still introduce charges for ASNs, the questions on the "why?" > has been raised multiple times and I haven't seen any explanation for that. > Did I miss it? This one can be answered from a policy point of view. When https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2007-02 was introduced, it created a system where Provider Independent resource (which include ASNs) holders would pay a small yearly fee to keep the resources. This caused automatic clean-up of abandoned resources, as the fees would stop getting paid. Unfortunately (in my eyes) the RIPE NCC never charged that small fee for ASNs, preventing that automatic clean-up from working effectively. It also was one of the reasons that https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-03 never made it: without a fee attached to an ASN it was felt that someone could overload the RIPE NCC with ASN requests (either out of ignorance or out of malice). A per-ASN fee would be an effective limiter on that. So as far as I’m concerned, adding a fee per ASN is a good thing, and maybe makes it possible to revive 2014-03 again! Cheers, Sander
