Is it possible to get an autonomous system now?

Question

Domain Name System

There is a connection to two providers, I wanted to get an autonomous system, but they say they stopped issuing them due to the fact that IPv4 is close to exhausting the address capacity. It's true?

Answer 1

No.
AS is issued, of course, they are also needed for IPv6. Do not issue PI-blocks of addresses for a long time.
But you can always rent a PA unit from one of the providers. Or buy an existing AS with a block or block.
Or you can close up with a LIR and get a /22 block.
For such issues, it is better to consult your provider, or his LIR, what they are ready to offer

Answer 2

Indeed, since 2012, ripe has not officially sold IP addresses. However, you can search on specialized forums and buy or rent a network from a private trader, then re-register it. Keep in mind that you need a minimum network / 24. In addition, it is not necessary to do this in our country. And of course, no one forbids to issue AS.
