Dear Team,

Mr George Michaelson , in his blog , https://blog.apnic.net/2021/12/17/the-space-between-ipv6-allocations-part-2/ , mentioned that APNIC has changed the block based allocation method to delegations for NIRs (when and why was not mentioned in the blog).

As per my understanding, it’s like APNIC used to allocate big IPV6 block to NIR (for further allocation to its members) which has now been changed to direct delegations to members instead of NIR.

A big block to NIR can help in super netting the v6 announcement at NIR (or at country level) , which can help in reducing the routing table size in long terms AND can also have IPv6 allocations in consecutive order for the economies where we have NIRs.

APNIC still allots ASN block to NIRs for further allocation to NIR members.

So my question is what leads to change in IPv6 allocation method for NIRs ??

This is posted in INNOG , SANOG , APNIC-TALK mailing and a ticket with apnic helpdesk for getting the authenticated response from the source itself.

Regards

Gaurav Kansal
