- Details of the proposal
APNIC will process IPv4 address transfer requests following the
adoption of this proposed policy, subject to the following conditions:
Conditions on the IPv4 address block:
- Only IPv4 address blocks equal to, or larger than, a /24 prefix
may be transferred.
- The address block must be in the range of addresses
administered
by APNIC, either as part of a /8 address block assigned by the
IANA to APNIC, or as part of a historically-assigned address
block now administered by APNIC.
- The address block must be allocated or assigned to a current
APNIC account holder.
- The address block will be subject to all current APNIC policies
from the time of transfer. This includes address blocks
previously considered to be "historical".
I am not sure from the text whether this proposal allows address
blocks to be split between multiple recipients when they are already
at the current minimum size. For instance the longest prefix length
currently allocated in 222/8 is /20[1]. Would this proposal allow a /
20 to be split into 16 /24s, held by 16 different organisations?
