    Shikanoko Networks: “RIPE NCC LIR sponsorship, IPv4 /24 leasing, and IPv6 PA /48 resource services, subject to policy, availability, and written scope.”

    • What is Shikanoko Networks?

      “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.”

    • Who needs an ASN?

      “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.”

    • Do I need to be a RIPE NCC member?

      “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.”

    • Is there any ongoing fee?

      “The current sponsorship fee is EUR 89/year. After delivery, annual renewal follows the agreed manual review process; cancellation stops future renewal.”
