Re: Best Source for ARIN Region /24

I’m aware of the /24 block for facilitation concept, but my client’s use case can qualify as an end-user rather than as 
an ISP, thus their annual operating cost is smaller than even the X-SMALL ISP category, which they’d land in — if they 
opted for the smaller /36 initial IPv6 direct allocation, rather than the default /32 direct allocation.

That seems to balance toward buying an existing /24.

If you apply for an IPv6 block, as an ISP, and you have the intention of truly utilizing it, then you can apply for a 
/24 to facilitate that transition. 

It will cost you about $1500 or so, which is about half of what a /24 is going for in the transfer market.

Thing is, if you take the IPv6 block just to use the /24 they give you, then one could argue you are cheating the 
system.

I’m looking to buy a /24 of space for a new multi-homed network in the ARIN region.  Can anyone out there speak to 
going rates for a /24 and best places to shop?
