IPv6

The RIPE NCC allocates and assigns IPv6 address space in the RIPE NCC service region according to the IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy, IPv6 Address Space Policy for Internet Exchange Points and IPv6 Addresses for Internet Root Servers.

Requesting IPv6 address space from the RIPE NCC requires a contractual agreement with the RIPE NCC. This can be either a membership agreement (if you become an LIR) or a Direct End User Assignment Agreement.

Requesting IPv6 address space

To request an IPv6 allocation, you need to be a member of the RIPE NCC.
To request an IPv6 IXP assignment, you can contact a member of the RIPE NCC or become a Direct Assignment User.

Smaller ISPs and End Sites can obtain IPv6 address space from their upstream provider.

To make your IPv6 request you can either:

• Log onto the LIR Portal with your LIR Portal account and make your request online or;
  
  
• Copy and paste the relevant request form into an email and send it to hostmaster@ripe.net. Request forms can be found in the Request Forms & Supporting Notes section in the RIPE Document Store. Direct Assignment Users will have to send the request by email.
