Criteria for new IPv6 allocations is here:
https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six51, and includes meeting any of one
the following:
Thanks for the link.
• Having a previously justified IPv4 ISP allocation from ARIN or one of its
predecessor registries, or;
Sure.
• Currently being IPv6 Multihomed or immediately becoming IPv6 Multihomed and
using an assigned valid global AS number, or;
That is our goal. I have two upstreams who are ready to peer with me
once I obtain an ASN.
• By providing a reasonable plan detailing assignments to other organizations
or customers for one, two and five year periods, with a minimum of 50
assignments within 5 years.
We submitted a numbering / subnet plan with our application, and stated
we intended to multihome. Essentially we are trying to get both ASN and
IP space at the same time. Bit of a chicken and egg problem perhaps.
Time to secure those letters of authorization and get that ASN. I think
once we have that, the process should move forward pretty rapidly.
I'm not certain how this is "fairly difficult", but can have someone from the
ARIN Registration Services helpdesk contact you to work through your circumstances.
(please contact me directly if that's desired.)
I may take you up on that. Thanks for the offer to assist. I'll read
over the doc you sent and the sections Owen mentioned. I think I just
didn't have enough information on the process. Looks like this will be
very straightforward.
