Re: [sig-policy] prop-101-v001: Removing multihoming requirementfor IPv6
I have some questions about prop-101,
1) In part 4.Details:
"...to remove the absolute multihoming requirement for portable assignments, and to
incorporate the following conditions:
A...
B. An organization will be eligible for a portable assignment if they
have previously justified an IPv4 portable assignment from APNIC.
C. A request for an IPv6 portable assignment will need to be
accompanied by a reasonable technical justification indicating why
IPv6 addresses from an ISP or other LIR are unsuitable.
D...."
My Question:
Does the application need to meet both condition B & C, or only one of the conditions?
If they need to meet both conditions, I think an organization have previously
justified IPv4 portable assignment is perfectly qualified for IPv6 assignment
because IPv4 portable assignment also require multihome, IXP or critical infrastructure.
If they only need to meet one of the condition, then it becomes:
IPv6 portable assignment can be justified by a reasonable technical justification indicating why
IPv6 addresses from an ISP or other LIR are unsuitable
Then I believe the condition is too relaxed, what can be interpreted as 'reasonable technical justification ',
is 'difficult to renumber' a reasonable justification?
So I got confused here, did I misunderstand something?
But I understand your intend is to remove the multihome requirement,
in that case, I think 'reasonable technical justification' need to be more specific.
2) IN part 4. Details:
" E. In order to minimise routing table impacts:
(C) Any subsequent request ...must be accompanied by information
demonstrating:
(iii) How the additional assignment would be managed to
minimise the growth of the global IPv6 routing table. "
My Question:
How can an organization manage their announcent to minimise the growth of the global IPv6 routing table?
I think what an organization can do is to aggregate as much as possible,
and that will only make a few entries more or less in the routing table,
but the popular use of /48 portable assignments will make aggregation
less possible, which may prudce a lot of routes, this is not because
of the few routes of the assignments, but because of the
inability to aggregate to a large block (i.e. /32)
