It would be helpful also if the whois record is updated with the Origin AS listed. See ARIN's post on the topic: https://www.arin.net/resources/originas.html Tony On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 10:08 PM, Faisal Imtiaz <faisal () snappytelecom net> wrote:

We just want to make sure we start off on the rightfoot.All you need is permission from the IP block owner (LOA) and the appropriate upstream filters to be setup or opened. Which could be a manual process (provide them a copy of the LOA) or could be a 'Trust' based using RRDB Record which someone has to create and update. Best of luck.

Some questionsHi everyone, we are about to acquire a block of IP’s from another organization thathasunused space, and being fairly new to these procedures, I was hoping forsomeguidance. We have already been pre-approved by ARIN for the block size we areacquiring,and finalizing the deal with the current owner of the address space.Firstquestion is, once they initiate the transfer request to transfer the IPrangeto us, how long does that typically take for ARIN to complete? Secondly, our relationship with the IP block owner is a very good one,such thatI think they would be ok with us advertising this block before wetechnicallyown it. My question is, what do they and we need to do to accomplishthat inthe proper way, so that the internet at large would accept theadvertisementfrom a different ASN, and not view as some sort of hijacking, etc. I am guessing they may need to update some RADB or something like that, buti’ll behonest my knowledge of how those things work and their complete functionispretty slim. This would be a short term thing as we expect the purchase process tocompletepretty quickly, but it would be advantageous to us to be able toadvertise thespace immediately. We just want to make sure we start off on the rightfoot.Thanks, Will
