Title: Proposal for simple assignment procedure of length /29 or
longer prefix
Applicant: Yoshiyuki Ezura, IP working group, JPNIC
- Introduction
RFC2050 and APNIC's policy define that ISP's customers must exhibit
very precise projection for their one year address usages and the
justifications for it. This rule is even applied to the prefix which
is /29 or /30.
/29s and /30s are widely used in Japan by personal users now, which
costs too much for both the applicants and Internet Registry. It may
impede the sound growth of the Internet.
- Proposal
We propose a simple procedure in which applicants don't need the
network detail information in the case when a prefix is longer than
/28. It seems to be reasonable since in the case of /29s, three hosts,
for example one gateway router and two hosts on the segment, is
enough to satisfy the RFC2050 criteria.
- Reasons or Advantages
We at JPNIC held a trial operation from March 1998 until January 2000,
that didn't require the network detail information in the case of when
assigning /29 and longer, to encourage assignment of longer prefixes
and preservation of the IP address space. Now in Japan, 41% of all
assignments is /29 and longer and 87% is /28 and longer.
We believe that trial operation was successful in address space
preservation and that this contributes a great reduction in resources
needed for address assignment at JPNIC, LIR and personal end-users as well.
