Re: [sig-policy] prop-111-v001: Request-based expansion of IPv6 default
Hi,
Guangliang, thank you so much for explaining current situation.
I was just drafting my reply mail:-)
David, what Guangliang mentioned is almost same as my drafted reply
mail, with smarter and clearer explanation.
Yours Sincerely,

| Hi David,
|
| I think that statement refers to early IPv6 allocations from the old /23 blocks. Before APNIC received the /12 allocation from IANA, we use sequence allocation method to make /32 allocations and reserved up to /29 for every allocation. That was the practice for all RIRs in the early stage. I believe this policy proposal is trying to address those reserved space.
|
| APNIC has been using spare allocation method to make IPv6 allocations from the /12 block since we received it from IANA. We don't do reservation in sparse allocation, but in fact every allocation has a room to grow. Current /32 allocations from the /12 block can grow up to /24 at this stage.

| However, the space up to /29 is reserved by APNIC secretariat for each /32 allocation.
|
| I thought the spare allocation method the RIRs agreed to use for IPv6 in order to get the /12 from the IANA precluded the need to reserve any address space.
|
| Does APNIC still reserve address space?
