Subject: prop-051: Global policy for the allocation of the remaining
IPv4 address space
Dear all,
We think that proposals prop-046 and prop-051 are very simiilar in
the sense that both of them consider that there should be some new
global policies for establishing a different critera for the
allocation of the last /8s from IANA to the RIRs.
We, the proponents of prop-051 think that the most interesting would
be to discuss if this kind of policies are necessaries or not. We, of
course, think they are.
Considering the discussion that took place at this mailing list and
the many emails supporting a smaller value for the final allocation
to each RIR, we are introducing a change to our proposal, setting the
new value for N as 2 (10 /8 in total at the end of the IPv4 unallocated
pool).
The rationale for the new value is:
1) Today IANA allocates 2 x /8 as a normal allocation to every RIR
as that is what they are asking as a gentlemen agreement, so the last
allocation will have the same size as the actual allocations.
2) With 2x/8 the RIR will have an allocation size big enough to
implement more conservative policies such as slow landing.
3) With N=2 we cannot say that we are boosting RIR shopping. It is
not a big enough pool.
Best Regards,
Roque, Francisco, Hytham and Didier.
