Introduction

This document contains instructions for completing the 'IPv4 Additional Allocation Request 
Form'. It is a tool for gathering the information necessary to evaluate the request and to 
ensure that the same guidelines are applied to each request. Where necessary, the RIPE 
NCC will ask for additional information.

The 'IPv4 Additional Allocation Request Form' can be found at:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/add-allocation.html

You should use this form if you have already received an IPv4 allocation and about 80% 
of it has been used in valid IPv4 assignments registered in the RIPE Database.
