Just popped 10 v4 from ARIN waitlist for my origin and it's 12 now from edge to origin so the cache hit on my wallet is unreal feeling very edge right now might pop another block if latency stays this low who else is riding the waitlist wave

ARIN waitlist for ISP allocations operates on a first-come basis with strict justification requirements. You must demonstrate 80% utilization of existing space, provide network diagrams, and submit SWIP records for all prior assignments. The 2024 waitlist has approximately 18-month median fulfillment for /24 blocks. Transfers through ARIN's specified transfer listing service carry $500 base fees plus $200 per /24. Legacy space holders selling direct often ask $40-50 per IP. The $20/year figure suggests either a promotional ISP suballocation or a waitlist block with amortized fees over a multiyear term. Which provider type facilitated this?

iBGP, eBGP, don't care, just peer

Only v6 from RIR. How long paperwork take in US?

  • Initial ARIN account setup: 2-3 weeks verification.
  • Waitlist submission with justification: 4-6 hours preparation, 3-6 month queue.
  • Annual maintenance fee: $250 for ISP category.
  • SWIP compliance audit: quarterly.

Total calendar time typically 12-18 months for new entrants. Recommendation: contact Contabo or Hetzner for IPv6-native hosting with NAT64 egress if v4 scarcity blocks your timeline.

It's always DNS. Always.
