IP Justification
Dacentec requires all IP assignemnts larger than a /30(1 Usable IP) to be justified according to ARIN requirements.
IP Services Offered
- SWIP: Reverse WHOIS lookups will include either your name and contact info(as listed in your account or optionally with Dacentec's physical address) We can also put your business name in if you are registered with an Organization status.
- REALLOCATE: This will delegate ALL responsibility to you for abuse and technical inquiries. This is offered to clients who have an ARIN POC/ORG ID.
Example Justification
Dacentec IP Allocation Policy
Dacentec is provided with IP addresses from ARIN who allocates blocks of IP addresses to Internet and Hosting Service Providers (ISPs and HSPs) for the purpose of reassigning that space to their customers. ARIN takes guidance from allocation policies and procedures set forth in RFC 2050 and Dacentec is therefore bound by those regulations. Because Dacentec views our relationship to the broader Internet as critical to achieving our customers' needs, we seek to assist the global Internet community in achieving the following IP address objectives:
1) Conservation: Fair distribution of globally unique Internet address space according to the operational needs of the end-users and Internet Service Providers operating networks using this address space. Prevention of stockpiling/hoarding in order to maximize the lifetime of the Internet address space.
2) Routability: Distribution of globally unique Internet addresses in a hierarchical manner, permitting the routing scalability of the addresses. This scalability is necessary to ensure proper operation of Internet routing, although it must be stressed that routability is in no way guaranteed with the allocation or assignment of IPv4 addresses.
3) Registration: Provision of a public registry documenting address space allocation and assignment. This is necessary to ensure uniqueness and to provide information for Internet trouble shooting at all levels.
To assist in reaching these goals, Dacentec follows these guidelines:
1) For all servers requesting more than 1 IP address, Dacentec requires customers to provide technical justification for their IP address usage. (See Application Form Below)
2) Dacentec may deny an IP network of any size if the customer cannot demonstrate 25% immediate usage.
3) Dacentec may recover an IP network allocation of any size if the customer cannot show 40% usage after 3 to 6 months.
4) For networks with a CIDR prefix equal to or shorter than /24 (i.e. greater than or equal to 256 IP addresses or 'Class C'), Dacentec may demand a network engineering diagram from the customer. The diagram will be a textual description of the use of sub-netting within the /24 or shorter-prefixed network.
Technical Justification: Client ID: ____________________________ E-Mail Address: ________________________ First Name: ____________________________ Last Name: _____________________________ Company Name: __________________________ Address: _______________________________ Address: _______________________________ City: __________________________________ State: _________________________________ ZIP/Postal Code: _______________________ Phone: _________________________________
In the following table please provide the IP Address, domain name,
and/or service that will be running on that IP Address.
If Dacentec has not given you a range of new IP network addresses, you may
use existing IP address space to justify usage or use sequential addresses
in the range - 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255.
If you are running more than one domain per IP, please indicate NAME BASED in the Service field.
If you do not have a domain or service planned for the particular IP address at this time, please indicate your estimated date of usage for the IP address in question in the Service field.
Please complete multiple pages as required by the size of your IP request.
