prop-088: Distribution of IPv4 addresses once the final /8 period starts
by Terence Zhang YH 04 Dec '10

04 Dec '10

Dear SIG members, The proposal, 'Distribution of IPv4 addresses once the final /8 period starts', has been sent to the Policy SIG for review. It will be presented at the Policy SIG at APNIC 29 in Kuala Lumpur, 21-25 February 2011. We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting. The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to express your views on the proposal: - Do you support or oppose this proposal? - Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation. - Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal? - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear? - What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective? Information about this and other policy proposals is available from: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals Gaurab, Ching-Heng, and Terence ________________________________________________________________________ prop-088-v001: Distribution of IPv4 addresses once the final /8 period starts ________________________________________________________________________ Author: Randy Bush <randy(a)psg.com> Philip Smith <pfs(a)cisco.com> Version: 1 Date: 22 November 2010 1. Introduction ---------------- This is a proposal to handle any IPv4 address space received by APNIC after the final /8 policy is implemented as being part of the final /8 pool and to redistribute these resources according to the final /8 policies. 2. Summary of current problem ------------------------------ After APNIC has activated the "final /8" allocation policies[1], there is the possibility that APNIC will receive further IPv4 addresses. These IPv4 addresses will come either directly from Asia Pacific networks that no longer need them, or, if the global policy proposal for redistributing resources from the IANA succeeds, from the IANA. The intent of the authors of the original final /8 policy proposal was to have all other IPv4 allocation and assignment policies replaced by the delegation policy described in the final /8 policy. However, the current language of the final /8 policy does not explicitly repeal the other IPv4 allocation and assignment policies. The authors are therefore aware that there may be some confusion as to how such returned addresses should be distributed by APNIC. This proposal seeks to clarify the situation. 3. Situation in other RIRs --------------------------- There is no similar policy or proposal in other regions. 4. Details of the proposal --------------------------- It is proposed that: 4.1 When APNIC has distributed all other available IPv4 resources, and has to start distributing from the final /8, any IPv4 resources received after that point will be placed into the final /8 pool. - This placement into the final /8 pool will occur even if the result is a pool larger than one /8. - Subject to any future global policy for the redistribution of addresses received by the IANA from the RIRs (for example, prop-069), this placement applies to any IPv4 addresses APNIC receives from: - the IANA; and/or - holders of addresses in the APNIC Whois Database 4.2 These resources received in 4.1 are to be distributed according to the same policies as apply to the final /8 [1]. 5. Advantages and disadvantages of the proposal ------------------------------------------------ 5.1 Advantages - It reduces confusion possible if IPv4 resources are received outside the final /8 but during the period when the final /8 policy is active by explicitly stating how these IPv4 resources are to be handled. 5.2 Disadvantages - No disadvantages are foreseen. 6. Effect on APNIC members --------------------------- APNIC members can only request and receive a single distribution from the final /8. This would also apply to any other IPv4 addresses placed in the final /8 pool by this policy. 7. Effect on NIRs ------------------ This will affect NIR members in the same way as APNIC members. 8. References -------------- [1] Section 9.10 "Distribution of the final /8 worth of space in the unallocated APNIC IPv4 address pool" of "Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region" http://www.apnic.net/policy/add-manage-policy#9.10 _______________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________ New APNIC policy now active _______________________________________________________________________ Yesterday, the APNIC Secretariat implemented the final of three policy proposals that reached consensus during APNIC 29 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in February 2010. The APNIC Executive Council (EC) endorsed the proposals during its May 2010 meeting. The policy implemented yesterday was: - prop-079: Abuse contact information This is a proposal to introduce a mandatory abuse contact field for objects in the APNIC Whois Database to provide a more efficient way for abuse reports to reach the correct network contact. Updated policy documents ------------------------ The comment period for the draft documents incorporating this policy ended on 29 October June 2010. The updated documents are now officially active: - Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region http://www.apnic.net/policy/add-manage-policy - IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy http://www.apnic.net/policy/ipv6-address-policy - Policies for Autonomous System number management in the Asia Pacific region http://www.apnic.net/policy/asn-policy For more information, see the history of this policy proposal at: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-079 Regards -- _____________________________________________________________________ Samantha Dickinson email: sam(a)apnic.net Senior Policy Specialist, APNIC sip: sam(a)voip.apnic.net http://www.apnic.net phone: +61 7 3858 3100

_______________________________________________________________________ Member and Stakeholder Survey 2010 - We need your feedback! _______________________________________________________________________ On behalf of the APNIC Executive Council, the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) is commissioning a Member and Stakeholder survey, to assess the Secretariat's performance during 2010. The survey is conducted every two years. The results of this survey will form the basis of the APNIC operational plan for 2011-2012. APNIC is a not-for-profit organization responsible for distributing and registering Internet resources, such as IP addresses, throughout the Asia Pacific region. You may have encountered APNIC in the region through our: - Training and liaison activities with local ISPs and governments - Participation in regional forums for Internet Governance - Media coverage on issues relevant to the Internet community such as IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 deployment An independent consultant, Professor Ang Peng Hwa, Director of the Singapore Internet Research Center, will conduct the survey and analyse the findings using a completely neutral process guaranteeing the highest quality result. The survey is designed so that you only need to complete the sections that are relevant to your experience with APNIC. Early Birds who complete the survey before 24:00 (UTC +10) on 9 November 2010, will be entered to win an Apple iPad! Participation in the Stakeholder Survey is completely anonymous. The survey is open from 2 November 2010 - 21 November 2010 until 24:00 (UTC +10). For more information on how you can participate, visit: http://www.apnic.net/survey Regards Sunny -- Srinivas (Sunny) Chendi email: sunny(a)apnic.net Senior Community Engagement Specialist sip: sunny(a)voip.apnic.net South Asia Liaison Officer ph/fx: +61 7 3858 3189/99 http://www.apnic.net ____________________________________________________________________ Join my twitter - https://twitter.com/ap_sunny Joins us for APNIC 31 @Hong Kong.
