Re: [Wg-ipv4-guide] Proposed Modification for APNIC Guidelines forIPv4 Allocation and Assignment Requests



Hi Mars Chih-hua Wei,

Thanks for putting this suggestion to the mailing list.

APNIC hostmasters have discussed your email and we have a couple of queries, which are included below.

As this is a criteria for both cable and DSL, maybe the wording could be more general (as CMTS is for cable only).

For consistency with other forms, maybe this bullet point could be: 
"the projected number of subscribers within 6 months and 12 months."

Could the above two bullet points be simplified and combined into a single point? Maybe:

"Subscriber growth rate and IP utilisation growth rate per month for the previous three months. To demonstrate this LIRs may optionally supply an MRTG and/or RADIUS/DHCP server logs."

Could you please clarify in this point whether you are asking for the projected number of DSL/Cable circuits and IP address consumption in the next 12 months, or the existing number of circuits and IP consumtion.

The following information is commonly asked for by APNIC, so maybe it could go in the guidelines with an example. Obviously it would need some modification for use with DSL also.

"With regard to the address space you are seeking for your cable service, please supply the information using the format provided.

<example>

Headend |  Homes  | Device   |Capacity |Current  |IP | Device |G-rate/
           passed                        users          added   month
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brisbane   15000    Motorola    1000       750    800     1     1254

Where:

Device - vendor, make/model and the quantity of CMTS currently installed.

Capacity - capacity of cable modem router per CMTS. (Also provide number of users per cable modem router.)

IP - total number of IP addresses assigned to each CMTS.

Device added - additional cable modem router that will be deployed in 6 months time.

G-rate/month - number of customers growth/month which have joined your service since your last allocation."

Tim Jones
