Dear Colleagues,

In Jakarta, Geoff Huston presented the status of our IPv4 resources, in particular about exhaustion and transfer,

and some participants asked to summarize and post it to the list for further discussion.

Following is Chairs' summary of the presentation and discussion.

1. Status of APNIC Final /8 pool (103/8)
- Will run out ~4-5 years

2. Status of IANA Recovered pool (non-103)
- Will run out in next 7 months+

- IANA may allocate additional space in every 6 months

- This pool will repeatedly ‘run-out’ as IANA delegates more space and it is distributed by APNIC

- May need policy to deal with temporary exhaustion of the non-103 pool

-> Close the door when exhausted or create the waiting list and put further applications to there?

3. Some address spaces in 103/8 were transferred within 12months since initial allocation

- There is no policy to prohibit it while the Secretariat asks in review process

While 3rd point was not included in SIG Chair report presented in AMM as the time was very limited,

I would like to ask you consider this point also.

It is very appreciated if you make a comment and discuss further.

Regards,

Masato Yamanishi

APNIC SIG Chair
