Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that we have fully implemented the RIPE
Policy Proposal 2019-05 "Revised IPv4 assignment policy for IXPs”.
This policy increased the reserved IPv4 pool for IXPs to a /15 and
finetuned assignment criteria.
The default IPv4 assignment size for IXP remains a /24 however on
request or once there are no more assignments of /24 (or larger)
available, assignments can be made down to /27.
The pool management part of this proposal was already implemented in
October 2019.
The archived policy proposal can be found at:

The RIPE Document, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for
the RIPE NCC Service Region" is available at:

Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
Registration Services and Policy Development Assistant Manager
