Dear Colleagues
As mentioned in previous emails, we need to get as much discussion as
possible underway before APNIC 31.
There are three proposals directly related to APNIC's IPv6 policy. You
can find the current APNIC IPv6 policies documented in the "IPv6
address allocation and assignment policy" at:
� �http://www.apnic.net/policy/ipv6-address-policy
1. Summary of IPv6 policy amendments
- ------------------------------------
prop-083: Alternative criteria for subsequent IPv6 allocations
� � � � �- Permit current APNIC account holders with networks in
� � � � � �multiple locations but without a connecting infrastructure
� � � � � �to obtain IPv6 resources for each location.
prop-087: IPv6 address allocation for deployment purposes
� � � � �- Permit networks using IPv6 deployment protocols to qualify
� � � � � �to more than a /32 if they can show:
� � � � � �- They are using such a deployment protocol AND
� � � � � �- The protocol is documented in a Standards Track RFC
� � � � �NOTE: This proposal will not be presented for consensus
� � � � �decision making at APNIC 31.
prop-090: Optimizing IPv6 allocation strategies
� � � � �- Changes how networks qualify for IPv6 allocations, and
� � � � � �how APNIC makes IPv6 allocations by:
� � � � � �- Replacing the HD ratio (used to calculate rates for
� � � � � � �additional allocations) with a different formula
� � � � � �- Aligning APNIC allocations to nibble boundaries (/36,
� � � � � � �/32, /28, etc.)
� � � � � �- Providing a new calculation for how LIRs should be
� � � � � � �assigning space to customers and alternative ways of
� � � � � � �showing sufficient utilization to justify more space
2. Next step: we need YOU!
- ---------------------------
Some initial questions to help the community begin discussion on the
above proposals are:
� �- Which proposals would APNIC be able to implement together?
� �- Which proposals would it be difficult for APNIC to implement
� � �together?
� �- Do the changes suggested in these proposals reflect issues you
� � �have come across when you have deployed IPv6 on your network?
