Supporting Notes for the Provider Aggregatable (PA) Assignment Request Form RIPE NCC Document-ID: ripe-489 Date: January 2010 Obsolete: ripe-316, ripe-382 This document contains instructions for LIRs on how to complete the "Provider Aggregatable (PA) Assignment Request Form" http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/iprequestform.html. The instructions are based on the "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy for the RIPE region" http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html. LIRs should send separate "Provider Aggregatable (PA) Assignment Request" forms for each End User.

(Yes/No) space-available: No Enter the legal name and primary location of the organisation that will use this address space in the "legal-organisation-name:" and "organisation-location:" fields. If this End User has a website, enter the URL in the "website-if-available:" field. Otherwise, enter "none" in this field. 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 at the end of this form.

You can repeat the "subnet" row as many times as needed. Delete any empty "subnet" fields before you send the request. 

In the "Subnet size (/nn)" column, enter a slash notation prefix for each subnet. Each entry should be large enough to contain the number of addresses needed for that subnet over the next two years. 

In 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). Starting on 1 January 2010, a gradual reduction in the assignment period will be applied. As the assignment period changes, so to will the information required: Up to 30 June 2010, assignments are for a period of up to 12 months. Therefore, your request should reflect your immediate requirements, predicted requirements for the coming 6 months, and predicted requirements for the coming 12 months. As of 1 July 2010, assignments are for a period of up to 9 months. Your request should reflect your immediate requirements, predicted requirements for the coming 6 months, and predicted requirements for the coming 9 months. As of 1 January 2011, assignments are for period of up to 6 months. Your request should reflect your immediate requirements, predicted requirements for the coming 3 months, and predicted requirements for the coming 6 months. As of 1 July 2011, assignments are for a period of up to 3 months. Your request should reflect your immediate requirements, predicted requirements for the coming 2 months, and predicted requirements for the coming 3 months. In the "Purpose" column, write a short description of each subnet. If needed, you can write a more detailed description in the "Network Description" section at the end of this form. In the "totals" row, add the total of each column. The total of the "Subnet size (/nn)" column should be the total amount of address space you are requesting for this assignment. In the "number-of-subnets:" field, enter the total number of subnets listed in the addressing plan. The "netname:" should be a short, descriptive name for the network and should reflect the End User's organisation name. You should use the same "netname:" when you register this assignment in the RIPE Whois Database. 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: to in
