prop-106-v001: Restricting excessive IPv4 address transfers under the final /8 block
by Andy Linton 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

Dear SIG Members The proposal "prop-106-v001: Restricting excessive IPv4 address transfers under the final /8 block' has been sent to the Policy SIG for review. It will be discussed at the Policy SIG at APNIC 35 in Singapore, Thursday 28 February 2013. 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 proposal is available from: https://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-106 Andy, Skeeve, Masato ------------------------------------------------------------------------ prop-106-v001: Restricting excessive IPv4 address transfers under the final /8 block ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors: Shin SHIRAHATA shin(a)clara.ad.jp Tomohiro Fujisaki fujisaki(a)syce.net 1. Introduction --------------- This policy proposes to restricting IPv4 address transfers which were allocated/assigned from the final /8 block. Based on our observations of the APNIC transfer history records, some LIRs seems to collect IPv4 address blocks under the final /8 range by using multiple accounts, and transfer these blocks to a single account. We believe this kind of behaviors are against the spirit of the final /8 policy. 2. Summary ---------- The current APNIC IPv4 address transfer policy allows to obtain a maximum of /22 distribution(s) per each APNIC account holder. We propose add a restriction to IPv4 address transfer policy to restricting excessive IPv4 address transfers under the final /8 block. 3. Situation in other RIRs -------------------------- No similar policy at other RIRs. 4. Details ---------- There are options to handle this problem. Option 1: Restrict IPv4 address transfers under the final /8 address block for two years. - Prohibits transfers of the address block for two years after receiving the distribution under the final /8 address block. Option 2: Set a deposit for transfers under the final /8 range. - Pay ten years of APNIC's annual fees for transfered address block in advance when receiving the final /8 address range by address transfer or account name change. If an APNIC account holder transfers the final /8 range, the rights associated with the advanced payment of the annual fees will get dissolved, and the transfer recipient must pay the annual fees just the same as regular APNIC account holders. 5. Pros/Cons ------------ Advantages: - Restricting the last /8 address range to concentrate on a particular account holder - Matches with the spirit of the final /8 policy Disadvantages: - The changes may increase an incentive of underground transfers. 6. Effect on APNIC ------------------ Transfers from the final /8 address range will be restricted in principle 7. Effect on NIRs ----------------- NIRs need to adopt this policy.

prop-105-v001: Distribution of returned IPv4 address blocks

Dear SIG Members The proposal "prop-105-v001: Distribution of returned IPv4 address blocks (Modification of prop-088)' has been sent to the Policy SIG for review. It will be discussed at the Policy SIG at APNIC 35 in Singapore, Thursday 28 February 2013. 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?

Information about this proposal is available from: https://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-105 Andy, Skeeve, Masato ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prop-105-v001: Distribution of returned IPv4 address blocks (Modification of prop-088) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors: Tomohiro Fujisaki fujisaki(a)syce.net JP IPv4 address allocation discussion team 1. Introduction --------------- After the final /8 policy is implemented, IPv4 address blocks received by APNIC are handled as being part of the final /8 pool and to redistribute these resources according to the final /8 policy (prop-088). This policy proposes to define a separate distribution policy for all non-103 IPv4 address blocks in the APNIC pool, to start the distributions once "Global policy for post exhaustion IPv4 allocation mechanisms by the IANA" is activated. 2. Summary ---------- While rapid implementation of IPv6 is in progress throughout the APNIC region, demands for IPv4 address still continue. According to our survey conducted to the APNIC community, over 70% of the respondents expressed the needs to receive IPv4 address space, if a separate distribution policy is defined from the final /8 policy. In May 2012, the global policy “Global Policy for Post Exhaustion: IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA” was ratified by ICANN board, and it will be implemented soon. Based on this policy, IPv4 address space returned to IANA will be distributed to RIRs, and its size is not expected to be so large but substantial enough to be able to consider an additional minimum allocation for APNIC members. Currently, these address blocks will be added to the reserve for distributions according to the final /8 policy, in addition to 103/8 block already reserved for the purpose. Therefore, even if additional blocks are added in APNIC's pool while reserves remain in the 103/8 block range, it is reserved for distribution under the final /8 policy. We propose to distribute this newly received address block and address blocks returned to APNIC to APNIC account holders. 3. Situation in other RIRs -------------------------- ----------------------------- ARIN: no final /8 like policy. RIPE-NCC: similar /8 policy. 4. Details ---------- Modify prop-088 to distribute non-103 IPv4 address blocks to APNIC account holders who meet the IPv4 distribution criteria define in APNIC policies. If APNIC account holder, who was allocated an /22 from final /8 pool, needs an additional IPv4 address block, they are eligible to receive another distribution of IPv4 block. The same policy as the final /8 policy will be appied in terms of the criteria and the size of the distribution given the requestor has utilized a total of /22 block from 103/8. This policy will be effective after allocation of returned IPv4 address blocks from IANA, based on "Global policy for post exhaustion IPv4 allocation mechanisms by the IANA". The distribution policy for 103/8 block will remain unchanged, based on the final /8 policy. 5. Pros/Cons ------------ Advantages: Able to utilize non-103/8 address pool in APNIC for immediate distribution, instead of keeping as a reserve, in addition to 103/8. Disadvantages: Some may feel the concern that adopting this policy discourages IPv6 deployment in the APNIC region. However, according to our survey, majority of the respondents responded revising the policy does not impact their IPv6 deployment plan. 6. Effect on APNIC ------------------ APNIC account holders can obtain one more IPv4 block of minimum allocation size as the upper limit (currently /22). 7. Effect on NIRs ----------------- NIRs can choose whether to implement this policy or not.

Dear Colleagues, Is there something in APNIC's policies that you think needs an update, could be improved or changed for the better? If so, then why don't you submit a policy proposal for APNIC 35? If you are not sure whether your policy idea has merit or is covered by an existing one, please seek some advice from the Chairs or the community in general by posting to this mailing list. You never know until you ask. Policy proposals will need to be submitted before Wednesday 30 January 2013 to be considered for consensus at the APNIC 35 Policy SIG in Singapore 25 February - 1 March 2013.
