In other words, starlink added 5 guy-at-large’s worth of ports.

  He's not just a random guy. Back in the day, he used to run LiveJournal, for instance.

tummy.com just shut down a few months ago and sold our old IPv4 swamp addresses and the ASN to him.

  Should've sold it to Starlink, maybe if they had some more addresses they wouldn't be using CGNAT.

  How are these transactions conducted? If I wanted to buy some IPv4 and an ASN, where would I go and how much would, say, a /28 cost me?
  - mcescalante 5y ago
    I can't speak to how all transactions are conducted, but there are auctions on one marketplace, IPv4 Global auctions, with cost per IP in the $50-60 range https://auctions.ipv4.global/ https://auctions.ipv4.global/. I also really enjoyed Flyio's blog post about acquiring addresses https://fly.io/blog/32-bit-real-estate/ https://fly.io/blog/32-bit-real-estate/

      Too bad there is no IPV4 ETF, would be a good investment even now.
  - walrus01 5y ago
    You can't buy smaller than a single /24 through the officially approved arin, ripe and apnic transfer processes, since that is the minimum size of individual netblock you can announce into global routing tables. An asn is not something you buy from a third party unless acquiring a whole corporation that already has one, since there is no real shortage of them, you'd get your asn from your regional registry. Expect about $50 to 55 per IP now.

      > Expect about $50 to 55 per IP now. So 254 * 50 or about USD 12k to 13k? That’s the only cost and you get to own 254 IP addresses? Are there ongoing costs?
