IPv6 allocation FAQ
There is no price: allocation is free of charge under RIPE NCC policy. No transfer fees, no purchase costs. You only pay for LIR membership or sponsorship if you are not already a RIPE member.
1-2 weeks from submission to approval for a /48 or /44. Larger blocks (/40, /32) run 2-3 weeks and may need extra justification. Incomplete documentation adds delay.
Yes. We sponsor your allocation under our LIR membership, or you can register as a RIPE LIR yourself. Sponsored blocks stay in the RIPE database under your organization's details.
IPv6 is complementary, not a replacement. Run both protocols together during transition: enable IPv6 on routing and firewalls, add AAAA records, configure Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) for automatic fallback. Your IPv4 addresses stay yours.
