[arin-discuss] Status of realigning the IPv6 fee structure?

Tue Mar 13 22:48:41 EDT 2012

I agree as well. We have a /22 IPv4 and have looked at getting IPv6 for
the upcoming growth. The costs makes leasing IP space from upstreams
that much more enticing. However, we all prefer to have a direct
allocation.

We are also in complete agreement with this and would like ARIN to
accommodate an extra small fee schedule for holders of IPv6 initial
allocations.

Randy -

By the way, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that that
currently an ISP which has an allocation of a /22 of IPv4 space
(extra-small) that gets the default-smallest-ISP-allocation of IPv6
address space (a /32) suddenly becomes "small" - which results in
their yearly ARIN fees doubling.  $1250/year may not sound like a lot,
but when you're an organization of that size every penny is watched
carefully and it can be a tough sell to management, who may not see
the cost/benefit proposition.

It would be Extra Nice if the new fee schedule addressed the Extra
Small problem.

Thanks,
