[apnic-talk] RE: [Apnic-announce] APNIC new IPv4 addresses (121/8 and122
Hi Skeeve,
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I understand the situation you are
in, as we have received similar comments from some other members. In fact,
APNIC is currently implementing a project to address such filtering problems.
The approach we will take is based on that used by some other RIRs. It will
involve making several announcements from each new range, then checking the
visibility of the ranges to identify any filters in place. APNIC
will then try to contact the ISPs using the filter to encourage them to update
their routers accordingly. Although APNIC will not be able to guarantee
that all routing filters will be updated before allocations are made from new
ranges, we do hope that this project will improve the situation.
Regarding your suggestion to announce new ranges six months before APNIC starts
making allocations, I'm afraid that will not normally be practical. Various
factors (such as the size of allocation we receive from IANA, the available
address pool, and the request rates around the time of the allocation) affect
how long APNIC is able to wait before making allocations from new ranges. In
some cases, this may be as little as
one month from the time we first announce receipt of the allocation.
Thanks again for your input. We would certainly be interested in hearing any
other suggestions for dealing with this problem.
Regards
Son

Just an opinion... But as someone who is currently experiencing the pain of
using a /19 in 125/8 at present and have our customers suffering greatly, I
think APNIC needs to do something better to be approaching the bogon list
managers and perhaps giving notice of 6 months or some such that these
ranges will be used so the pain will be a lot less.

and122/7)
Dear colleagues
APNIC received IPv4 address blocks 121/8 and 122/7 from IANA in January
2006 and will be making allocations from these ranges in the near future.
This announcement is being made for the information of the Internet
community so that network configurations such as routing filters may be
updated as appropriate.
For more information on the resources administered by APNIC, see:

For information on the minimum allocation sizes within address ranges
administered by APNIC, see:

Kind regards
