    End User IP Address Assignments Explained

    Imagine a company that runs a network solely for its staff, with no intention of reselling Internet services or lending its IP addresses to outsiders. This is what we call an end user. At InterLIR, we specialize in allocating IPv4 blocks to such organizations that need IP space purely for their internal network operations.

    But here's the catch: these IP addresses are meant strictly for the company's own use. No passing the parcel outside the organization. InterLIR ensures that applicants meet clear requirements proving their legitimate need for these address blocks - no smoke and mirrors, just straightforward justification.

    For the policy buffs looking to dive deeper, the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) section 4.3 holds all the nitty-gritty details you might want to know. And if you’re curious about the fee structure, InterLIR follows guidelines inspired by industry standards, ensuring transparency and fairness.

    Simplified IPv4 Buying Made Easy

    Back in 2011, the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) officially declared that the pool of available IPv4 addresses had dried up. While some forward-thinkers eagerly embraced IPv6 as the future, most companies hesitated, stuck in their IPv4 comfort zone. Over the next few years, regional registries like ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC handed out the last bits of IPv4 addresses they had, leaving the rest of us scrambling to find addresses on the secondary market.

    Buying IPv4 addresses is often like navigating a maze without a map. There are only a handful of places to buy blocks, and even fewer who shed light on how the transfer actually happens. Without clear guidelines or published rules, it’s a bit of a Wild West out there. How do you know that the IPv4 addresses you buy are clean, legitimate, and won’t cause headaches down the road? That’s where InterLIR steps in as your trusted marketplace.

    Whether you need a modest /24 block or a sizable /12 range, InterLIR has got you covered. Size and scale shouldn't be barriers to entering the IPv4 market. Here, you find the right size blocks transparently, backed by verification processes that keep your purchases legitimate and hassle-free.

    Micro-allocations of IPv4 Addresses for Critical Infrastructure

    According to the NRPM 4.4 policy, InterLIR facilitates micro-allocations of IPv4 address space to essential infrastructure players on the Internet. We're talking about the backbone keepers like public exchange points, core DNS service providers, including ICANN-approved root and country-code top-level domain operators, plus the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and IANA themselves.

    These micro-allocations are never anything less than a /24 block. So if you thought you could sneak in with a tiny subnet, think again. However, in special cases, InterLIR can help secure multiple such allocations, ensuring these critical services have enough IP addresses to keep the Internet humming smoothly.

    Managing Multiple Discrete IPv4 Networks with Precision

    Navigating the IPv4 landscape means proving your identity is crystal clear. InterLIR requires you to show that your organization isn’t a patchwork quilt of small, independent groups masquerading as one. We want to see the real deal - a single unified entity managing its network assets responsibly.

    Next up, transparency about your network’s layout is key. InterLIR asks for solid proof that you operate two or more distinctly routed networks. It's not about sprinkling a few IPs here and there - you need clearly separated, discrete networks that stand on their own.

    When allocating your precious IPv4 space, details matter. Provide thorough records showing exactly how each chunk has been assigned to these discrete networks. Dates too! InterLIR expects this level of organization to keep things neat and trackable.

    Finally, show that your IP utilization isn’t just fluff. You must demonstrate at least 50% usage of your most recent allocation, as well as a minimum of 50% overall usage across all allocations. If you haven’t hit that mark, no worries - prove that any leftover free blocks are smaller than ARIN’s minimum allocation size. InterLIR wants responsible usage, not hoarding.
