Continuous Allocation vs Prioritized Geographic Registrations
Watch the video here:
Introduction
When requesting IP addresses, you have two main options:
- Continuous Allocation – A larger, single block of IPs.
- Prioritized Geographic Registration – Smaller blocks, but pre-registered in the desired location.
This tutorial explains the differences and helps you choose the best option for your needs.
Continuous Allocation: One Large Block
- You receive a single, continuous range of IPs that fits your request.
- However, the geolocation may not match your preferred country.
- You must announce the IP and wait for geolocation updates, which can take a month.
- Best for cloud providers or businesses where IP continuity is more important than location.
Prioritized Geographic Registration: Location-Ready IPs
- IPs are allocated based on location rather than size.
- You receive multiple smaller blocks (e.g., /18s or /20s instead of a single /17).
- These IPs are geolocation-ready, ensuring users access the correct local content.
- Best for end-user services like streaming, where correct geolocation is critical.
Which Option Should You Choose?
- For cloud services or centralized management → Choose Continuous Allocation.
- For end-user applications (Netflix, YouTube, business networks) → Choose Prioritized Geographic Registration.
