title: Operating personal AS
date: 2024-07-17T01:11:00.000Z
slug: operating-personal-as

I am operating small network of AS214578, with few IPv6 spaces only.
I acquired AS and Addresses from RIPE, which is relatively easy to work with.
It costs about 100EUR/year for ASN and 80EUR/yr for /44 IPv6 Addresses.
I only breifly knew about how internet routing works, then I got curious about details few years ago.
I then learned about routing in detail, like BGP or OSPF, or RIR and ASes.
I found few of my colleages got their own AS for them to play with, so I decided to do so.
Unlike other RIR (afaik), RIPE has unique heirachy called LIR. Its like smaller distributor for RIPE resources. We can contact LIR for them to sponsor my ASN and IP spaces.
Of course we can directly acquire resources from RIPE, but it requires to be member of RIPE which costs few thousands per year.
One thing I learned, I can request PA (Prov. Aggr.) spaces seperately from who sponsors ASN.\
I can get ASN from Prov. A who provides it at cheap, and IPv6 from other prov. who provides at cheap.
