+title: Operating personal AS

+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.
