ASN Services for Independent BGP Routing
Get assistance with Autonomous System Number requirements for independent BGP routing. Hyper ICT assists eligible networks in the RIPE service region with ASN requirements, IPv4 resources and related routing services.
For hosting providers, network operators, infrastructure businesses and organizations that need independent routing.
- ASN requirement guidance
- BGP assistance available
- IPv4 resources from /24
- RPKI / ROA support
- LOA and rDNS assistance
When Does Your Network Need an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number gives your network its own routing identity and can provide greater control over how your infrastructure connects to the Internet.
Multihoming
Connect your network to multiple upstream providers while maintaining a consistent routing identity and your own external routing policy.
Independent BGP Routing
Use your own ASN when exchanging routes through BGP and reduce dependency on a single connectivity provider's autonomous system.
Infrastructure Growth
Create a network architecture that can grow across multiple upstreams, locations and IP resources as your infrastructure requirements expand.
More Than Just an ASN Request
ASN deployment is often only one part of the network. Hyper ICT can also help connect your ASN requirements with IPv4 resources and essential routing services. See our IPv4 network services for the wider deployment stack.
ASN Assistance
Guidance around eligibility, network requirements and the information needed for an ASN request in the RIPE service region.
BGP Assistance
Get help with the networking side of integrating your ASN and IP resources into your routing environment.
IPv4 Resources
Add flexible IPv4 capacity from /24 and above when your network requires additional routable address space.
RPKI / ROA, LOA & rDNS
Additional routing and network-resource assistance is available for operational deployments.
From Network Requirements to ASN Deployment
Start by telling us how your network is structured. We can then determine the appropriate next steps and which supporting network resources may be required.
Tell Us About Your Network
Send us your company details, intended use, upstream connectivity and current network requirements.
Check Requirements
We review the request and help identify the information needed for your ASN use case.
ASN Request
Once the requirements are clear, the ASN request can move forward with the relevant information and documentation, subject to applicable registry requirements and approval.
Configure Your Network
After ASN allocation, continue with BGP configuration, IPv4 resources and related routing services where required.
Need IPv4 Resources With Your ASN?
Build your routing setup with flexible IPv4 capacity from /24 and above. Hyper ICT can support both the network-resource and routing sides of your deployment.
Flexible IPv4 Capacity
Start from a /24 and scale your IPv4 capacity as your network grows, without committing to unnecessary long-term capacity.
- IPv4 blocks from /24
- Monthly leasing
- No setup fee
- No deposit
- 24-48 hour testing available
Routing Support
IPv4 resources often need additional routing work before they are operational. Our network services can help simplify that process.
Who Is ASN Assistance For?
ASN services are particularly relevant to organizations building independent or multihomed Internet infrastructure.
Hosting Providers
Build routing infrastructure for VPS, dedicated hosting and distributed hosting platforms.
Data Centers
Establish independent routing policies across upstream carriers and network infrastructure.
Network Operators
Operate your own BGP routing identity while connecting to multiple networks or upstream providers.
Infrastructure Businesses
Build scalable network infrastructure around independently managed routing and IP resources.
ASN Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Autonomous System Numbers, BGP and using independent network resources.
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number, or ASN, is a unique identifier used by networks participating in Internet routing. It identifies an Autonomous System and allows that network to exchange routing information with other networks using BGP.
Who typically needs an ASN?
ASNs are commonly used by hosting providers, data centers, Internet service providers, network operators and other organizations that need their own external routing policy or connectivity through multiple upstream networks.
Do I need multiple upstream providers?
Not in every case. ASN eligibility depends on the applicable registry policy and your network's routing requirements. Multihoming is a common use case, but the exact setup should be reviewed before starting an ASN request.
Can Hyper ICT help with the ASN request process?
Yes. Send us your network requirements and intended use, and our team can help identify the required information, documentation and next steps. ASN allocation remains subject to applicable registry requirements and approval.
Is ASN allocation guaranteed?
No. Hyper ICT can assist with the ASN request process, but allocation depends on the applicable registry requirements, eligibility and approval. We review your network use case before the request moves forward.
Can I use leased IPv4 addresses with my ASN?
Depending on the routing arrangement and the IPv4 resources involved, leased IPv4 space can be used as part of a BGP deployment. Hyper ICT provides IPv4 blocks from /24 and above and can discuss the routing requirements with you.
Do you also provide BGP, RPKI, LOA and rDNS assistance?
Yes. Hyper ICT provides additional network-resource services including BGP assistance, RPKI / ROA, LOA and rDNS support, depending on the requirements of the deployment.
