IP Addresses & Routing

Your own corner of the internet, run properly.

Provider-independent IP addresses, your own AS number and routing engineered to operator standard. We handle the RIPE process and the engineering, so your network stands on its own feet.

Independence from any providerYour addresses and routing belong to you, so changing ISP never means renumbering.
The RIPE process, handledApplications, transfers, database objects and ongoing compliance managed end to end.
Engineered, not just registeredBGP, peering and RPKI configured by the team that runs AS197166 every day.
What we provide

Resources and routing, end to end.

IP address space
IPv4 and IPv6, provider independent

Address space that belongs to your organisation rather than rented from an ISP. New IPv4 ran out years ago, so today it is leased or purchased: we arrange both, alongside IPv6, and manage the RIPE NCC process, documentation and ongoing compliance on your behalf.

  • IPv4 to lease, giving you capacity quickly without the upfront cost
  • IPv4 to buy, sourced on the transfer market with the RIPE paperwork handled end to end
  • IPv6 allocations with a sensible addressing plan
  • Sponsoring LIR arrangements, so you get resources without the overhead of RIPE membership
  • RIPE database objects kept accurate and compliant
  • RPKI certification, so your prefixes are protected against hijack
Best for: Organisations that need addresses they own, not addresses they borrow.
ASN and BGP
Your own routing identity

An autonomous system number of your own, with the engineering to use it well. Multihoming, peering and failover designed and run to the same standard as our own network.

  • AS number registration and sponsorship through RIPE
  • BGP design and implementation across multiple providers
  • Peering strategy, including public exchanges such as LONAP
  • Route filtering and RPKI route signing as standard
  • Monitored around the clock by the people who built it
Best for: Organisations whose uptime depends on more than one provider.
Why independence

Why run your own corner of the internet.

Survive any provider

With your own addresses and AS number you can multihome across providers, and drop any one of them without your network noticing.

Never renumber again

Your IP space moves with you. Change ISP, data centre or architecture without re-addressing a single system.

Control your routing

Decide how traffic enters and leaves your network: failover, load sharing and peering on your terms.

Stand up to scrutiny

Clean RIPE records, signed routes and documented policy that hold up under audits and security reviews.

Gotschna Network

Run by operators, not administrators.

We run AS197166

Our own autonomous network, built and operated in-house. We use everything we sell.

Peered at LONAP

Directly interconnected with the UK internet community, carrying our own routes every day.

Engineer first

Decisions come from evidence, testing and standards. Your network gets the same discipline as ours.

FAQs

Common questions.

Do we need to become a RIPE member?

Not necessarily. A sponsoring LIR arrangement lets you hold your own resources without taking on RIPE membership and its overhead, and we handle the process either way.

How long does it take to get an ASN or IP space?

It varies with the RIPE process and, for IPv4, the transfer market. We manage it end to end and give you a realistic timeline up front rather than a guess.

Can we keep our existing connectivity provider?

Yes. Provider independence is the point: your addresses and AS number belong to you, so they work across any provider and move with you when you change.
