Hi. I going soon to start ISP business, rural, home based.
It take more than year to get fibre
Need couple recommendations.
Option 1. Register with ARIN, pay $50 + $250 per year, got ASN and IPv6 /40 and join waiting list for /24
this actually simplest way
Lease ipv4 /24
Option 2.
Register with ARIN, pay $50 and join waiting list for /24(or even/22)
when it will be my turn(3 years), i will definitely will be need more than 254 IPs
Lease ipv4 /24, lease ipv6 that is supercheap
Lease ASN from RIPE for euro 60 if needed. But it not actually needed.
Option 3.
Register with ARIN, pay $50 + $250 per year, got ASN and IPv6 /40 and join waiting list for /22
when it will be my turn(3 years), i will definitely will be need more than 254 IPs
Yes, I want to have a cake and eat it too, request resources over my current plan, But ARIN says:
The current fee schedule is based on the service category corresponding to the total amount of ARIN allocated Internet number resources (IPv4, IPv6, and ASNs) to an organization
I cant see anything against Option 2, but to see is it true, i need to pay $50 for ARIN registration.
I currently have
Mikrotik CCR2116-12G-4S+
CISCO NEXUS MANAGED SWITCH, N9K-C9372PX
50 pair of bidi SFP modules
50 mediaconverters
Should be enough for 47 users
lots of Chinese cables, Chinese splicer. Dont have ODTR(need $1.2K, not enough money)
I need 20 users to pay for uplink
Question 1: when i need to upgrade 1Gbit to higher speed?
If 47 users start watching 4K at evening, this will be not enough
Question 2: Do i really need /24? I can ask my provider for /27, 6 IPs and use CGNAT
And v6/48, this 64K and i give /56 to every client, 640kb (256 addresses) will be enough for anyone
I think i stop thinking about money to pay for IP at 100 clients mark. And start thinking to buy horizontal drilling machine, but it different story
