How to become LIR in 7 days

There is an Internet infrastructure that includes switches, routers, which require a fairly large number of IP addresses, as well as server addresses. For some applications, for example sites that use the encrypted SSL protocol, a dedicated IP address is required per site, or a dedicated IP is required for each protected IoT. Thus, now many participants in the hosting industry are experiencing a shortage of IP resources, as well as companies that have their own internal sites.

Considering that already all RIRs entered the phase of exhaustion, getting this resource became more difficult. Now IPv4 subnets are allocated only for new LIRs. After all, the 4 version of the protocol is universal and suitable for almost all users. Most companies tend to get class B addresses, since they best match their needs due to the optimal ratio between the number of networks and the number of hosts in them. The fact is that for corporate networks, a class A network with 16 million hosts provided more opportunities than required, and a Class C network could not meet the needs of a large company due to the small number of hosts that could be addressed.

Becoming a LIR is not difficult and relatively cheap. You will need a copy of the company's documents, information about your infrastructure and 2 upstreams. You will also need to specify the information about the intended country of use, the purposes of use, contact details. This whole procedure takes no more than 2 hours. However, it will be processed by RIR employees much longer and will take 3-4 days. Payment and further procedure will take 2-3 days. more Thus, you get the membership and allocation of the block of IPv4 addresses (minimum 1024).

On Pangnote, you can seek for advice from both brokers and other companies that can tell you how to go through all the required procedures quickly.
