1. Problem statement --------------------
APNIC makes IPv4 address delegation from two IPv4 pools. These are the 103/8 (Final /8) pool and the non-103/8 IPv4 Recovered pool.
Currently, there are no IPv4 addresses in the non-103/8 IPv4 Recovered pool and APNIC manages a Recovered Pool Waiting List for approved requests. And, based on the Geoff's projection (*1), the 103/8 (Final /8) pool will be exhausted in a few years.
It will be necessary to make a guidance about how to manage the IPv4 delegation after both IPv4 pools exhaustion.
2. Objective of policy change -----------------------------
To provide a guidance for 103/8 pool exhaustion.
3. Situation in other regions -----------------------------
- The first time an approved request cannot be fulfilled from the 103/8 pool, a waiting list will be created. That waiting list will be managed same as recovered pool waiting list.
- APNIC continue to manage two pools, the recovered pool and the 103/8 pool.
