EXHIBIT D


Herakles IP Address Policy

(Exhibit D to Herakles, LLC Terms & Conditions)


Introduction and Overview


IP address space is a limited resource that is being depleted at a significant rate. Several registries have been established around the world to regulate the usage of these addresses. The Internet Community governs these registries. In the United States, the American Registry governs us for Internet Numbers (ARIN).


ARIN typically only provides addresses in /19 blocks (8192 individual addresses, or 32 Class Cs) or more, most companies need to contact their upstream provider, in this case Herakles, LLC. In order for Herakles, LLC to acquire address space from ARIN, we must follow their guidelines for IP address assignments and allocations and must enforce efficient utilization of IP addresses. This means that our customers must justify their IP needs to us in detail and according to ARIN’s guidelines for effective usage.


ARIN’s policies can be found on their website. Links to the ARIN website are at the bottom of the page.


All information disclosed to Herakles, LLC during this process is confidential, with a single exception, we are required to provide ARIN with the same information you provide to us in order to justify our need for additional address space.


All numbers must be accounted for, and each address block must be reassigned via SWIP, RWHOIS or internal databases. Large address consumers will also be required to maintain, and provide upon request, a database of how addresses are assigned internally.


Guidelines and Rules


Herakles, LLC will not provide aggregate allocations larger than can be justified by the customer’s need.

Herakles, LLC will not provide allocations or assignments to customers who already have a direct allocation from ARIN.

A usage figure of 80 percent must be achieved within 90 days after allocation/assignment, or the addresses will be withdrawn. (Eighty percent usage is based on SWIP records and a simple ICMP scan run against all assigned net blocks.)

Customers will not be given address space for administrative convenience.

Herakles, LLC cannot guarantee the assignment of contiguous blocks.

We reserve the right to change customer assignments/allocations as necessary. ARIN Links
