Re: [sig-policy] IPv6 Guidelines document
hi Izumi,
Thanks for your comments. I have tried to answer your question below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Registration requirements
---------------------------------
(snip)
* Assignments for networks of /48 or less may be registered, at
the discretion of the LIR and the network administrator.
* Assignments to hosts may be registered, at the discretion of
the LIR and the end site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is stated that assignments longer than /48 can be registered. Would
such registrations be taken into account when calculating the
utilization?
If they are in the database, then yes they will be counted towards utilisation.
If the answer is yes, I am not sure if the needs for the registrations
are strong enough, especially registering assignments in host basis,
Rather like in IPv4 today, I think it unlikely that people will register
individual hosts. People may wish to register longer than /48 network
assignments, but it is not compulsory, as is stated in the language.
However, where longer assignments are being made, I think it is legitimate
to make one entry for a /48 that covers (for example) all customer
assignments within that /48.
From 3rd quarter of this year no assignment information will be public by
default in the APNIC database - however it assignment information will be
stored in private in MyAPNIC.
