The new billing date for the RIPE objects is 15 January 2026
RIPE introduced in 2009 additional fees for independent resources ( IP addresses and AS numbers) allocated directly by RIPE . The amount of the fees is calculated according to the resources allocated and is paid in advance each year. The registration fee is paid only once and is for the cost of transferring from another LIR to Chroot. Failure to pay the fees or not joining an LIR will lead to the withdrawal of RIPE resources or the payment of annual fees of up to 3000 Euro. An affiliation, a copy of the certificate of registration with the Trade Register or a copy of the CIF for persons who do not have a registration number are required to join the LIR . A copy of the IC is sufficient for individuals. The agreement will be emailed after the order is registered.
Billing for RIPE resources (IP addresses and AS numbers) is annual and is aligned based on the date of the first order, regardless of when during the year the order is placed. The next annual invoice will be issued on January 15 and will have a due date of January 30 of the year following the first order. This mechanism is necessary because RIPE fees are charged only once per year and are not tied to the service activation month. Any price changes determined by RIPE NCC will be announced in advance through the announcement system.
PA IP addresses are spaces allocated by the provider to customers who need small IP address spaces< 256 . PA allocations can also be made in blocks larger than> 256 customers with an AS number just like PI spaces. IP addresses are spaces greater than> 256, and are assigned to customers who have an AS number and have at least 2 connections to different internet providers to perform dynamic BGP routing.
The AS (Autonomous System) number is used by companies and ISPs that have at least two ISPs and want to perform dynamic routing and traffic balancing based on the BGP protocol.
RIPE – Réseaux IP Européens is a forum for entities interested in developing the Internet. The main objective of the RIPE community is to ensure the continuity of its technical and administrative coordination.
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the routing protocol used in the core of the Internet. It maintains a table with IP networks (or “prefixes”) showing the path used to reach that network through the various autonomous systems (AS). BGP is therefore considered a vector-path routing protocol (as opposed to vector-distance protocols, which do not keep the whole path). BGP does not use the same metrics as the routing protocols used within ASs, but makes decisions based on the routing policies and policies of the autonomous system of which it is a part.
LIR AFFILIATION
What does LIR affiliation mean?
Since 2014, Chroot Network SRL has become a full member of RIPE and can provide affiliation and sponsorship services for IP address allocations and AS resources.
The registration will not affect the ownership of the resources, the client will remain the owner of the use of the resources as long as the RIPE rules in force are observed.IMPORTANT:
