Understanding IP Space Transfer and Rental: Ensuring Legitimate Use and Avoiding Complications

💡 The video is a conversation about the importance of IPv4 and IPv6 in the market.

⚡ The speakers discuss the options for obtaining IP addresses, including waiting lists, transfers, and rentals.

🔒 There are restrictions and regulations for renting IP addresses, and the availability of IPv6 is abundant.

💡 There are three ways to obtain IPv4 addresses: waiting in a long waiting list, transferring addresses between regions, and renting addresses.

🌍 Transferring addresses between regions has become more common, but the rules are not clear, and some countries are more active in transferring addresses than others.

💲 Renting addresses is another option, but it comes with risks and does not have specific policies like the other methods.

📝 It is important to be aware of the policies and restrictions when receiving or offering IP address space for rental purposes.

🔒 Rental of IP address space is not considered a legitimate use and can result in IP address revocation and other consequences.

🌐 Considering the limitations of IPv4, it is advised to consider deploying IPv6 for future network infrastructure needs.

📋 Some universities in Mexico may lose their legacy resources once they receive an assignment of IPv6 or an Autonomous System Number (ASN). However, they will still have the right to use those addresses and will be obligated to comply with the policies established by the Latin American Internet community.

📄 Many universities with legacy space may struggle to prove ownership of the right to use those addresses due to lack of documentation. When the addresses stop being legacy, universities can obtain a legal document from the National Registry stating their ownership. Monterizing IPv4 assets is also an option for institutions.

💼 Haiti is a platform that aims to facilitate the administration of IPv4 and IPv6 resources. It addresses issues such as evaluation of risk requirements, high prices of IPv4 addresses, scarcity of IPv4 addresses, and lack of knowledge in the ecosystem. The platform connects buyers and sellers for IP address leasing and transfers.

📚 Renting and transferring IP addresses require technical expertise and trust in the company handling them.

🌐 IP geolocation and renumbering services are provided to help with IP address management.

💰 The price of IP address transfers is determined by the market, with larger address blocks usually getting better prices.

💡 There will be a fourth cybersecurity conference held by Cudi with the support of the University of Veracruz, and it's a great opportunity to attend in person.

💰 The cost of transferring IP resources depends on factors such as the quantity being transferred and the market demand, but for a specific case, it can be estimated to be between $30 and $40.

🔁 During the process of converting legacy resources to non-legacy resources, it can take some time for the legal procedures within the organization to be completed, but the actual contract signing and transfer can take around a week.

💼 In addition to Cudi, there are several brokers that specialize in supporting the commercialization of IP resources.

💡 It is important to identify the intermediaries involved in the transfer or rental of space to ensure legitimate use.

🔒 Using a reliable intermediary reduces the risk of someone using the space for illegal or unauthorized activities.
