1. Introduction
IP addresses (IPv4/IPv6) and provider numbers (AS) are limited resources, which leads to certain allocation conditions imposed by the regional registry (RIR) and the local registry (LIR).
Obtaining the resources (IP and AS) is performed in certain cases with both LIR (ro.nav) approval and RIR approval.
The notion of "Class C" has disappeared; in the current context, CIDR notation "/24" is used.
2. Definitions
Public IP addresses are divided into 2 categories from an allocation standpoint:
[ PI ] — spaces allocated by RIPE.
— The applicant must have at least 2 Internet connections
(different ISPs with different AS numbers).
— For these spaces, you must own/request
your own AS number, essential for dynamic routing via BGP.
[ PA ] — spaces allocated by NAV Communications.
— The number of Internet connections does not matter.
— It is not necessary to own/request your own AS number,
as these can be aggregated on the AS number of the ISP to which you are connected.
— If you have your own AS number, they can be aggregated and dynamically routed.
— Generally they can also be re-aggregated on the AS numbers of providers to whom
you will connect later or even on your own AS number obtained later.
( The exception is RCS-RDS, for which addresses are exchanged free of charge
when you connect to or cancel their services. )
[ IPv6 PI addresses ] are spaces (>=/48) allocated to clients who hold an AS number and at least 2 internet connections (different providers, each with its own AS number).
[ AS Number ] is allocated to clients who wish to perform dynamic routing and hold at least a /24 block (256 IP addresses), with the possibility of aggregation at this size.
For AS number allocation, a peering agreement with at least 2 partners is also required.
3. General conditions for IP address allocation
For IP address allocation, a global usage rate of at least 50% in the first month, 60% in 2 months and 80% in 3 months is required.
Individually per subnet, values of 40% the first month, 60% in 2 months and 80% in 3 months are accepted; aggregated, the global usage rate must still be met.
Address usage is calculated by counting addresses used by equipment, vhosts, ... and customers (note that a customer can receive at most 1 IP per link/host).
We point out that these thresholds are minimums.
Customers who want PI addresses must hold a peering agreement with two providers having different AS numbers.
4. General conditions for AS number allocation
Holding a peering agreement with two providers that have different AS numbers and a /24 block are the minimum conditions for obtaining an AS number.
5. Rights, obligations and conditions of use
The Client must present documents to both the LIR (ro.nav) and the RIR proving the need for Internet resources whenever expressly requested.
Such documents include: company documents, ID of the applicant, equipment invoices/receipts, address usage charts, logs, client lists, customer contracts, supplier contracts, network diagrams, brochures, and price lists.
These documents are submitted either scanned by email (recommended) or by fax, to the LIR or RIR as applicable.
Documents may be requested both at allocation and afterward; we note that these documents are requested for informational purposes only to verify compliance with minimum conditions, and their confidentiality is guaranteed.
After obtaining the resources and paying for the services, the resources will be made available to the Client for use, with manuals/links provided; there is no obligation for training from the LIR (ro.nav).
For resources that will continue to be managed by the LIR — typically PA addresses — the LIR will perform any information updates without charging additional fees; these are included in the annual fee.
Transfer of usage rights (ownership change) is charged at 25% of the registration fee (minimum 50 EUR + VAT).
Resources are not allocated "for life"; the Client has the obligation to return these resources if not in use or if initial conditions are no longer met.
PA addresses are returned within 30 days of the notification terminating the contract between LIR and client/end-user.
Non-use of resources (IPs, AS) for a period exceeding one month (30 days) may result in withdrawal of the allocated resources.
Attempting to sell, selling, or renting acquired resources to a third party (exceeding a maximum of 8 IPs/client) results in cancellation of the allocated resources.
Using resources for purposes that violate Romanian law or to perform "SPAM" actions, hosting those who SPAM, automatically results in cancellation of approval for all acquired resources.
The LIR may cancel allocated resources if illegal activities are suspected (SPAM and other) or upon RIR request, without prior client notification.
Failure to provide documents requested by LIR/RIR within a maximum of 2 weeks automatically results in cancellation of approvals for the respective client.
Blocking of addresses or AS by anti-SPAM organizations or other providers does not oblige the LIR or RIR to change the addresses.
The LIR will advise the client on possibilities and will work together with the client to resolve any problems that arise.
6. Payment for services
The allocation fee is a fee set according to the service provided, not according to the number of resources obtained (e.g., for IPs).
The maintenance fee for PI/PA IPs and AS is paid annually to the LIR; its amount is set by the LIR and may change over time without prior notification to the client.
The transfer fee (ownership change) is 25% of the allocation fee in effect at the time of transfer; the LIR performs a new service ("transfer").
Failure to pay the fees entitles the LIR to take all necessary measures to recover these fees, including withdrawing all allocated resources.
The re-allocation fee (IPs reallocated to the same client after entering the deregistration procedure) is 25% of the allocation fee in effect at the time of reallocation; the LIR performs a new service ("reallocation").
7. Confidentiality
Throughout the duration of this agreement, neither party may disclose any of the clauses of this agreement without the prior consent of the other party.
The customer may not disclose to any third party any information regarding this agreement, even after its termination.
The LIR will exercise all due diligence to preserve the confidentiality of customer data transferred via its servers, will continuously monitor the servers and will stop any attempted unauthorized access to customer data, to the extent it is detected by the security solutions adopted by the LIR.
The LIR may present the customer's name as part of its customer portfolio.
8. Final provisions
These rules may be modified without prior notice to the customer; they will be made public on the LIR's website (ro.nav), https://www.nav.ro — the customer consents to accept the new rules.
These rules are established according to international regulations and have the role of protecting internet resources from inefficient use or use for purposes contrary to laws in force.
