ASN and IPv6 requests, Sponsoring LIR arrangements and RIPE Database administration, handled by the operators of AS31732.
From a single ASN request to ongoing administration of your RIPE NCC resources.
Autonomous System Numbers for organisations that need their own routing identity, such as multihoming with more than one upstream.
IPv6 PI assignments for End Users and PA allocation guidance for LIRs, in line with current RIPE policy.
We act as Sponsoring LIR for independent resources assigned to End Users, maintaining the relationship with the RIPE NCC on your behalf.
Support for organisations becoming their own LIR, from application preparation to operating the account.
Registry records that match how your network actually routes, maintained by engineers who announce their own space.
Transfers of Internet number resources within the RIPE NCC region, and inter-RIR transfers where registry policies allow.
Accurate registry records depend on understanding both RIPE procedures and real-world routing.
Day-to-day experience with RIPE NCC procedures, policies and the RIPE Database.
We operate AS31732, on the Internet since 2004, and peer at EdgeIX Sydney.
Route objects and ROAs set up to reflect how your prefixes are actually announced.
Combine LIR services with IPv4 leasing and network engineering through one team.
A clear sequence for every request, with registry timelines set by the RIPE NCC.
Your organisation, resources and goals.
Applicable RIPE policies and documentation.
Steps, responsibilities and timeline agreed.
Requests, records and RPKI handled.
Ongoing administration as you grow.
A Local Internet Registry is an organisation, typically an ISP, hosting provider or enterprise, that holds a membership account with the RIPE NCC. LIRs request and manage Internet number resources for their own networks and on behalf of their End Users.
No. Eligible organisations can receive an ASN as an End User through a Sponsoring LIR, which acts as the administrative intermediary with the RIPE NCC. Parsun provides this service.
The RIPE NCC no longer has a regular pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses, so most organisations obtain IPv4 through transfers or leasing. We can lease IPv4 from our own inventory or broker a transfer.
A PA allocation is made to an LIR, which assigns from it to its own infrastructure and customers. A PI assignment is made to an End User, through a Sponsoring LIR, for use on that organisation’s own network only.
A Route Origin Authorisation is a signed statement of which autonomous system may originate a prefix. Networks that validate RPKI can reject announcements from any other origin, which protects against origin hijacks. A ROA does not prevent route leaks and does not create connectivity on its own.
Yes. We take over administration of existing RIPE resources, including database records, route objects, RPKI and Sponsoring LIR arrangements.
Our LIR services cover RIPE NCC resources. In the APNIC region, Parsun acts as an APNIC Registered IPv4 Broker for transfers of IPv4 address space.
