RIPE NCC LIR Services

The ASN + VPS Bundle is a turnkey solution that includes the ASN application, an IPv6 /44 prefix, a VPS of your choice, and dual transit providing redundancy for the VM while meeting the need for two upstream providers.

It brings together, in a single offer, the main elements required for your application to RIPE.

This offer includes the ASN application, an IPv6 /44 prefix, and two GRE BGP tunnels.

The two tunnels provide redundancy and the two required upstream connections, without the need to deploy or manage a VPS.

With the standalone ASN offer, you need to arrange your infrastructure separately and have two upstream providers.

With the ASN Bundle, these elements are already included. This reduces the number of parties involved, simplifies the process, and limits the amount of additional documentation required.

Yes. Since the upstream connections and connectivity are already included in the offer, the application requires less coordination with external providers and can generally be processed faster.

Yes. Document processing fees are waived with the ASN Bundles, whereas the standalone ASN offer is subject to a €40 document processing fee.

No. Whether you choose the ASN + VPS Bundle or the ASN + Dual BGP Tunnel Bundle, both options natively provide the two required upstream connections without needing external contracts.

ASN Bundles: 2 upstream connections fully included

Standalone ASN: 2 upstream providers must be arranged separately by you

It depends on the bundle you select:

• ASN + VPS Bundle: Available globally, including for customers outside the RIPE region, as the VPS provides the required local footprint.
• ASN + Dual BGP Tunnel Bundle: Exclusively available to customers who already have an established network presence within the RIPE region.

It depends on your infrastructure and location:

• Choose the VPS Bundle if: You are located outside the RIPE region, need to connect to local Internet Exchanges (like LocIX), want to split/route transit across multiple remote sites, or wish to host services directly on our infrastructure.
• Choose the Dual BGP Tunnel Bundle if: You already have a presence in the RIPE region and simply want two plug-and-play BGP feeds terminated directly on your own router without managing a VM.

We act as your sponsoring LIR to request and register an Autonomous System Number (ASN) directly from RIPE NCC under your organization or personal name. We also allocate an IPv6 /44 PA prefix (16 x /48) to you.

According to RIPE NCC policy, you must provide proof of a multi-homed routing policy, which requires active agreements or LOAs with at least two different upstream providers or peering partners. You must also have a local network presence within the RIPE service region. Depending on your situation, additional documentation may be required. You can find full details on our ASN registration page.

Yes. Standalone ASN registrations are subject to a €40 document processing fee to cover manual administrative validation. (This fee is completely waived if you choose any of our ASN Bundles).

Yes. We offer PA IPv4 allocations (from /24 upwards) and IPv6 sub-allocations. We issue Letters of Authorization (LOA) so you can announce these prefixes through your own ASN or third-party networks.

You maintain full control over your routing policy. We assign your designated Maintainer (mnt-by) to your inetnum/aut-num objects, allowing you to update route objects, rDNS (route6/domain), and contact info independently.

Annual services (such as ASN maintenance and IP sponsorships) are billed on a fixed calendar cycle. Your initial payment covers service activation through to the next standard renewal date.

Official annual renewal invoices are issued every year on September 1st. For example, if you order in 2026, your setup and initial period are paid upon activation, and your first annual renewal invoice will only be issued on September 1st, 2027.

Individuals can order. RIPE NCC allows both natural persons and legal entities to hold an ASN and IP allocations. The registration process is identical; individuals simply need to provide a valid photo ID.

Yes. You are not restricted to ServPerso IP resources. You can bring and announce your own IPv4/IPv6 prefixes or connect external infrastructure using custom BGP sessions and LOAs.

Our Fair Use Policy is designed around an unthrottled, neighbor-friendly network model. You have full, unrestricted access to your maximum connection speed to handle traffic bursts, peaks, and high-demand workloads at any time.

To guarantee high network stability and ultra-low latency for all users on AS34872, services are provided on a shared, fair-share capacity. If continuous, round-the-clock port saturation threatens network performance for adjacent clients, temporary rate-limiting may be automatically applied to preserve infrastructure stability until traffic normalizes.

This ensures your legitimate high-burst traffic runs at full performance without hidden overage fees, while protecting the network against sustained abuse.

You can evaluate our network performance anytime using our public diagnostic tools. We provide a list of test IP addresses for ping and traceroute tests across our Points of Presence (PoPs) on our PoP list page.

For BGP route inspection, latency checks, and MTR tests directly from our edge routers, you can also access our Looking Glass tool.

Yes. Custom rDNS (PTR records) can be fully configured for all your allocated IPv4 & IPv6 addresses directly via support, making it suitable for mail servers and self-hosted services.

Yes, for monthly products. Choosing a quarterly, semi-annual, or yearly billing cycle applies an automatic discount (such as 3% off on quarterly plans) compared to monthly billing.
