Subject: prop-051: Global policy for the allocation of the remaining
IPv4 address space
The rationale for the new value is:
- Today IANA allocates 2 x /8 as a normal allocation to every RIR
as that is what they are asking as a gentlemen agreement, so the last
allocation will have the same size as the actual allocations.
Will LACNIC's and AfriNIC's next allocation request be for 2 /8s? And
are slow landing conservative policies in place to handle these two /8s?
And if not, when will they be developed?
- With 2x/8 the RIR will have an allocation size big enough to
implement more conservative policies such as slow landing.
LIRs will have to define this. What will they be? JPNIC proposes N=1
with more conservative allocation policies. Who will define those?
Everyone is deserving in their own eyes. It becomes a "lawyers win,
everyone else loses".
- With N=2 we cannot say that we are boosting RIR shopping. It is
not a big enough pool.
I don't see that. People will shop whatever value of N>0 is chosen. :-(
Let's set N=0 and move on to a more useful discussion as to where we go
from 2010 onwards. There are bigger problems facing us than trying to
preserve the past.
