/32 IP SWIP to RIPE ORG?
Hey everyone
Just asking out of interest, does any european hoster actually offer SWIP for a /32 address to a RIPE ORG? I've read about that in combination with ARIN, but in regards of RIPE, I've only found a few hosters offering adding your RIPE PERSON. Now I was getting curious, is such a thing technically even possible with RIPE? Haven't been able to find anything about that at RIPEs page.
Regards

Well you need to have justification to get a /32 from a lir at ripe.
This is the ipv6 policy for End Site (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-589):
Assignments shorter than a /48 to a single End Site
When a single End Site requires an assignment shorter than a /48, it must request the assignment with documentation or materials that justify the request. Requests for multiple or additional prefixes exceeding a /48 assignment for a single End Site will be processed and reviewed (i.e., evaluation of justification) at the RIR/NIR level.
He probably meant /32 ipv4. It should be possible to add a /32 ipv4 assignment in the RIPE database, but most LIRs wouldn't bother to do it for less than a /30.
Any size prefix can be SWIPed at RIPE, either by Person, by ORG, or by both.
Does someone bother to do it for a /32v4? Probably not.
@rds100 @William That's exactly what I meant. I was actually asking as RamNode offered me a free SWIP for a /32, although they said they're only able to swip to a PERSON object.
I do believe them ofcourse and won't complain as such a thing is another REALLY generous offer from @Nick_A, but I was just getting curious if that "limitation" is due to RamNode or RIPE.
See my thread as answered by that, thanks guys!
SWIPing to ORG is just keeping the same person in it (theirs) and add a line with org: $ORG.
I suspect Ramnode does it via a template/system so they don't have an easy option to set it.
Adding org-id might require a little more verification to make sure the organization is real - http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-556
Though many LIRs probably don't bother too much with this.
Yea, in theory many things should not work like they do at RIPE.... fact is though you can simply create an ORG object (given you have a maintainer) and no one will ever bother.
