Re: questions about ARIN ipv6 allocation

[John Curran <jcurran () arin net>]

Yes Owen, that is correct…

If an organization insists on maintaining multiple contractual relationships with ARIN (for whatever reason) then they 
will be billed for each relation separately - and that is indeed likely to be more than having a single consolidated 
agreement for all number resources.

Just for clarity - ARIN’s fee schedule is such that ISP customers (i.e. those with registration service plans) pay an 
annual services fee based on their higher category of IPv4 or IPv6 resources – i.e. those with IPv4 resources can 
obtain a corresponding size of IPv6 resources without any change in size category or increase in their annual fee.

[Also worth noting - as of January 2022, all end-user customers are moving to the same registration services plan, and 
similarly those with just IPv4 number resources be able to obtain corresponding IPv6 resources without change to their 
annual fee.]

This, whether they want to or not… In many cases resulting in significant unwanted fee increases, especially if you 
have a mix of resources covered under RSA and LRSA due to ARIN’s accounting limitations that they are perversely 
disincentivized against fixing because it allows them to essentially double-bill.
