If you're just looking for a "lab" environment to fuck around with BGP you should check dn42.eu instead of dishing out moolah for the ASN registration + IP range.
Hi,
I can do ASN Registration in RIPE for 30 EUR one time fee.
Check signature.
yes, if your organization (in this case you as a natural person) is based in .eu and operates its networks there, then RIPE is the correct RIR (Regional Internet Registry). Most End-Users get their resources from a so called LIR (Local Internet Registry). The LIR either assigns your part of its IP-Resources for usage (it gets from the RIR), or in specific cases of AS-Number Request or Provider Independant IP-Resources requests those for you (and acts as your legal "tether" to the RIR).
you can get an AS-Number when you meet certain requirements and can demonstrate a need. Such as your network being multi-homed.
IPv6 you have to differentiate between Provider Independent (PI: Resources belonging to the End User/You) and Provider Aggregatable (PA: Resources of th LIR assigned to the end-user/you for usage). In case of PI, you once again have to demonstrate a "need" when requesting. As you can guess, PA is easier to request (from your point of view), but binds you to the LIR, whereas PI - you can switch sponsoring LIR's without renumbering.
See:

So lets talk about the "hobbynet" scenario.
If you can demonstrate that the project you are working on is multi-homed (test: do you have 2 bgp-peers, that will connect to once you receive the AS-Number) and do not have existing resources/AS-Numbers - then most LIR's will be able to sponsor your request. For starting I'd suggest ipv6 PA.
=> Startup cost (based on my offerings) for Sponsoring an AS-Number + ipv6 PI: 90 Euro excl. VAT.
If you are a Student (proof required), then feel free to open a ticket. (Student Pricing is 35/yr for a /48 ipv6 pa+ASN Sponsoring)
So lets talk about the "Production" scenario.
=> Startup Cost (based on my offerings): IPv6PA+ASN Sponsoring or IPv6PI Sponsoring (Free AS Sponsoring included)- 90/yr (7.5/mo). Leasing a /24 -> 110 euro per month => so around 117.5 euro per month excl vat
=> Startup Cost alternative(based on my offerings): 100 (one time as-request), 60/yr for ipv6 PA, leasing /24 ipv6 for 110/month

Thanks for the vouch. I cannot recall who is behind the nick, mind writing me one way or another to remind me, so I can thank personally? I have some goodies in the office ready to be sent out ;-)
