We have customers asking to lease IP space for BGP transit with us and other peers. But they are struggling to get at a minimum even a Class C, even though they have their own ASN. We don't have large amounts of free IPv4 space to lease out to a single customer in most cases anymore. Hope to at least introduce these customers to some contacts that may be able to help. Do we know of any reputable sources that are leasing or selling IPv4 subnets as small as a /24 to satisfy their diversity needs? Thanks!
I'm going to stay focused on your question. There are many methods to obtain additional IPv4 address space. o You can still use an RIR and get a last /22 in the RIPE region provided you follow their rules, and no, you do not have to be in Europe. Read carefully: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2013-03 o You can use a marketplace where buyers and sellers live in harmony to conduct buy and sell (bid, offer) transactions. I find the folks at Addrex very knowledgeable www.addrex.net o You can use a auction site. The folks at Hilco Streambank seem to be able to keep theirs running at www.ipv4auctions.com The above are not endorsements. There are many others. Some are credible. Some are interesting. YMMV.
