“Shikanoko Networks provides an ASN sponsorship path plus IPv4 leasing and IPv6 resource services without requiring a direct RIPE NCC membership. We act as your Local Internet Registry (LIR) sponsor and handle the applicable application or service process on your behalf.”
“A network operator may need an ASN when it operates a distinct external routing policy, connects to multiple upstream networks, or participates in BGP peering. Having an ASN does not by itself make an accompanying PA prefix provider-independent.”
“No. SKNK is the RIPE NCC member and acts as your sponsoring LIR; you remain a sponsored End User. RIPE NCC therefore does not bill you a direct LIR membership fee. Your ASN and the SKNK PA /48 have different ownership and portability rules, explained on our Resource Lifecycle page.”
“The current sponsorship fee is EUR 89/year. After delivery, annual renewal follows the agreed manual review process; cancellation stops future renewal.”
“It provides the agreed use rights for the listed /24 during the active term. The Order records the resource, intended use, operational contacts, and routing scope.”
“The public reference is €450 per quarter or €1,580 per year, excluding applicable VAT. Availability, IP reputation, and final scope are confirmed per application.”
“Each item follows the actual resource, Origin ASN, registry, and requested operational scope. The parties record the exact work and authority in the written Order.”
“AS-SET work follows the customer's or designated routing provider's need and the available maintainer authorisation. The applicable scope is written into the Order.”
“We review the candidate resource at application time, record the source and review date, and agree the abuse contact path for the active term. Later reputation reflects actual use and third-party list updates.”
“Submit a written change request with the new Origin ASN and the required authority. We update the delivery and routing records according to the Order.”
Shikanoko Networks: “RIPE NCC LIR sponsorship, IPv4 /24 leasing, and IPv6 PA /48 resource services, subject to policy, availability, and written scope.”
