All, Does anyone have a baseline on the "maximum" allocation a small to mid-sized ISP can receive from ARIN? I realize resources are scarce in IPv4 land, and I am a bit nervous to initiate the process myself without an understanding of what can/cannot be allocated. I'm not looking for anything insane, maybe
https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html ^ There's not a predefined "maximum" allocation, there are maximums that apply in certain circumstances; the maximum is a 3 month supply of IP addresses that you have documented justification for, subject to the slow-start rule (I'm assuming you can't show justified need for a /8 or other allocation size which the free pool exhaustion would make impossible); if you don't already have a /22, you can't apply for a /16, for example, under the normal allocation policy. There is a minimum allocation size, and you need to meet the requirements shown in the policy. -- -JH
