@Swiftnode. I think that either you have a bad day or you are just bored on a Friday.
Cheers!

This is even more ironic given that most damaging route leaks happen at firms with direct, sometimes unfiltered connections, to "T1s" + other unfiltered peering. A scenario that rarely applies to hobbyists
Serverion had leaked more crap into the very real DFZ in a week then I have to the bgp.tools route since I started peering with it... lol.
RIPE should put some layoff plan on the assembly, rather than make internet less available and less inclusive. Communicating with several RIPE representatives is pure pain, they have too much time asking unnecessary problems and simply ignore the customer.
Even APNIC can do a much better job on communicating and allocating resources for non hosting businesses.
Some hosting businesses owners should realize there are many other businesses are operating their network with multiple locations and using very different routing policies, jacking up ASN fee is a huge f* from RIPE.
Even more ironically, you are a perfect example of everything wrong listed in this thread and everything that RIPE is trying to stop.
Excluding the countless deadpools you were involved in, each one with its own LTD and ASN, you own 9.081444*10^28 IPv6 addresses and 10 ASNs. What a person does with that many addresses and ASNs, I will never be able to imagine. I hope this new rule hits you hard exactly where it hurts: your wallet.
can always do an "internal" bgp session for the client then strip the internal AS on export.
(this way you keep most of the control, such as communities,...)
Not a big deal in my opinion.
Thanks for doing my audit for me. You missed AS211350 and AS206444 though, if we're counting ASNs that aren't mine.
But in all seriousness, if RIPE were trying to stop people from holding multiple ASNs they would enact that policy directly.
The funniest part of this post is the fact that many hobbyists I know have a better router than you.
I know what you said, but you're still wrong. You don't own internets - you're here to make a living from it and there's nothing wrong with that, but still... Your right to earn on the internet isn't above my right to learn, test, explore on the internet ... and of course vice versa.
Exactly! Says who?
He's correct, though, unless you believe that businesses should exclusively own the internet.
We (I as a hobbyist and you as a business) coexist here.
Furthermore, to run your business, you most likely even use some protocols and solutions invented by hobbyists.
Just wondering, how do you know how many IPs they are using on their /24?
Also wondering, your ASN 211462 seems to be singlehomed... current RIPE policy says AS's must be multihomed to qualify for an ASN. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to be breaking policy while complaining about others? (https://bgp.tools/as/211462#connectivity)
They are just trying to make getting ASNs for no reason (what you are doing) more painful, which that extra 50 euros is clearly doing.
Only 185.242.186.1 - 185.242.186.4 are pingable.
Yes, firewalls exist and a lot of the world has net admins who block ICMP on addresses. In fact many enterprises block ICMP too, if you use that as a metric of usage you will soon find many "real companies" don't seem to use their space at all!
You know this how?
I heard this forum doesn't tolerate "scanners". I don't care much myself. But are you "admitting" to scanning in here? lol
The last RIPE meeting was full of drama with Russians paying their memberships in cash at backrooms and Chinese guy having a rant speech in front everyone about subnet costs.
Try that with our IPs, you'll find you can't ping ones that you may have been able to in the past.
Firewall doesn't act kindly to scanners.
Oh yeah, that totally makes sense. Kjartan just coincidentally set up PTR only on those IPs, and only those IPs run services accessible from the Internet. Thanks for letting me know.
Once again, I apologize. I'm more than certain that all 12 ASNs have legitimate purposes in mind. In my personal life, I've also experienced times when I needed to create one UK company per month, make an ASN with it along with a /44, and then upstream it to the three upstreams I always use. It happens to me every day.
Since you don't want "hobbyists" in BGP why not make it €50k/year?
With that metric, you are going to include networks that have one transit provider and connected to an unlimited number of exchanges.
No, that will not be enough to learn to do things right, not even close, if anything, those people are worse, because they believe they understand it.
The lab is not the real world..
With routers with only 100mbps ports even have enough memory to hold a single copy of the global routing table?
Hobbyists rarely have broken the internet.. It has been the big players doing that.
Publicly facing services do tend to be the only ones that require a valid PTR...
Did you know that the most specific prefix length that is routable in DFZ is /24?
AS200690 LowEndASN will be going dark, as soon as LIR sends an invoice.
It's fun when it lasted.

Weird how you ignored this @host_c
If > @sillycat said:
Lol, so let me get this straight… you want all addresses to not only be pingable, but also have valid RDNS, and be listed publicly on an IP scanning website? 🤣
Tbh, I read all your answers and @HostSlick's here regarding BGP hobbyists and I am stunned how arrogant you two chose to be, whilst @Swiftnode kept showing you, very clear, how wrong you are.
I think your problem is not the hobbyists themselves. Your problem is that you believe of yourself to be such a big and important provider, that you get to say who has the right to experiment with internet numbers and who doesn't.
Internet is free for all. Information itself is free. The work put into collecting information, synthesize it and apply the outcome to a certain task is the biggest part in a sysadmin's experience. So, today's hobbyist, holding an ASN with a /64 v6 and a PC in a garage, may be the tomorrow's Google founder.
Also, I was curious to see how multi-homed your ASN is: AS211462 Host-C -> AS8708 RCS-RDS S.A. You're not even in a real neutral Datacenter, but a RCS/DIGI proprietary facility in Oradea, giving 5$/y deals to LET users.
To me, your network looks like a single-homed hobbyist's network (as per the general idea propagated in here).
So, as one said in here long time ago: "look in your own garden".
Take care!
iFog is one of the first that chanced prices https://ifog.ch/en/ip/lir-services 77 CHF/y.
Let's hope you won't have to wait for months for him as I had... I almost lost my numbers due to his lack of professionalism.
Found another LIR and got the resources sponsored, even faster than he processed my refund.

Yeah, I am also moving my ASN, got a good LIR that can do it for cheap.
Any recommendations?
Not many providers have listed the new prices yet, so idk.
Might need to make a discussion for people who are looking for a good price when multiple LIR's have published the new prices.
I am quite happy with Staclar, Inc.
Huh, I wonder if it will affect me as an "existing customer". I was ordering an AS from them last year and was quite happy about the one-time-fee only.
