APNIC policy implementation update
____________________________________________________________________
The APNIC Secretariat has now implemented the following policies:
[prop-014-v001] Lowering the IPv4 minimum allocation size
and initial allocation criteria
[prop-016-v002] IPv6 allocations to organisations with
existing IPv4 infrastructure
Lowering the IPv4 minimum allocation size and initial allocation
criteria
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Under this modified policy, the IPv4 minimum allocation size has been
lowered to a /21 (2,048 addresses) and to be eligible for an initial
allocation, an LIR must:
- have used a /23 from their upstream provider or demonstrate an
immediate need for a /23;
- have complied with applicable policies in managing all address
space previously allocated to it;
- demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /22 within a year; and
- commit to renumber from previously deployed space into the new
address space within one year.
