To clarify, the time horizons in policy depend on the nature of the =
request.
ISPs are currently limited to 3 months for IPv4.
End users can get 12 months IPv4.
ISPs or end users can get up to 24 months IPv4 through the transfer =
process.
IPv6 does not have a clearly defined time horizon and long-term (~5 =
years) planning is recommended when preparing an IPv6 request.
