[arin-discuss] Size Categories for IPv6.

[Owen DeLong]

Andrew,

First, end sites receive assignments and not allocations.

Second, there are size categories for end sites:

From: https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html

IPV6 END USER FEES
Size Category	Fee (US Dollars)	Block Size
X-small	$1,250	smaller than /40
Small	$2,250	/40 to /32
Medium	$4,500	/31 to /30
Large	$9,000	/29 to /27
X-large	$18,000	/26 to /22
XX-large	$36,000	/22 and larger


As you can see, your multiple /48s (up to 255 of them) can be issued together for a single
X-Small fee of $1,250.

Further, these are one-time fees when blocks are issued and your annual fee is $100.

The fees listed in the ISP table are annual subscription fees. Do you really want your end-user
fees increased that extensively?
