LIR & IP Services
ARIN-registered IP address allocations and LIR sponsorship for network operators. Portable / provider-independent (PI) space with full IRR support.
What Is LIR & PI Space?
Provider-Independent IP addresses that follow you — not tied to any single hosting provider.
Provider-Independent (PI) Space
PI address space is registered directly in your name through ARIN (or another RIR). Unlike provider-assigned (PA) space, PI space is portable — you can announce it from any upstream provider or colocation facility.
This is essential for multi-homed networks, BGP operators, and organizations that need network independence from their transit provider.
IRR Route Filtering
IRR (Internet Routing Registry) route objects define which ASNs are authorized to originate your prefixes. We assist with route object creation and enforce IRR-based filtering on all BGP sessions to prevent unauthorized route announcements.
- IRR route object registration assisted
- AS-SET and route-set configuration
- Prefix filtering enforced on all BGP sessions
- ARIN IRR database support

Common Questions
An ASN is required to announce the space via BGP. If you do not have one, we can assist with ARIN ASN registration or provide an ASN sponsorship in some cases.
We work with ARIN for North American IP allocations. For customers needing RIPE, APNIC, or other RIR registrations, contact us to discuss options.
ARIN registration timelines vary. Typical processing is 1–4 weeks for new allocations. Existing IP space transfers may take longer.
Yes. PI space can be announced from any ASN you control. We can assist with multi-origin AS (MOAS) configurations if needed.
Yes. IRR route objects are required for BGP announcement. We assist with creating and maintaining route objects in the ARIN IRR database as part of your service.
