Re: [JPNIC ip-v6 101] Re: IPv6 sub-TLA allocation service at NIR.
Anne,
As Kazu-san said, at the moment it is difficult for us to take on
responsibility for the data being registered. Of course we'll strongly
guide our members the requirents written in RIR's policy draft line
bellow.
- sub-TLA holders must register assignment informaton to APNIC DB
- Registered data will be used to verify the usage. It affect
subsequent allocation and reclamation of addresses.

| The case for IPv6 is not the same as that for IPv4.
|
| In the case for IPv4, APNIC allocates IPv4 address blocks and
| delegates the reverse lookup function to JPNIC, for example. So, an
| ISP in Japan requests an IPv4 address block to JPNIC then JPNIC
| assigns an block to the ISP. When ISP updates the JPNIC DB, it is
| JPNIC that sets up reverse lookup for the ISP's customer. This seems
| to work well since JPNIC handles both IPv4 address assignments and
| reverse lookup.
|
| However, in the case for IPv6, it is APNIC that allocates an IPv6 sTLA
| to an ISP in Japan. When the ISP sets up reverse lookup for customers
| by himself, how to ensure to make the ISP update the *APNIC* DB?
|
| In this case, who has responsibility to encourage ISPs to update the
| APNIC DB?
Yours sincerely,
