Dear colleagues
The four-week final comment period for the proposal 'Allocate
1.0.0.0/24
and
1.1.1.0/24
to APNIC Labs as Research Prefixes' has ended.
During the comment period there were no objections raised to theÂ
proposal. The Chairs therefore deem that consensus has been maintained
on the proposal.
We formally request that the APNIC Executive Council endorse this
proposal.
For a detailed history of this proposal see:
http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-109
Regards
APNIC Policy SIG Chairs
Andy, Masato
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
prop-109v001: Allocate
1.0.0.0/24
and
1.1.1.0/24
to APNIC Labs as
             ÂResearch Prefixes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposer: Â Â Â ÂGeoff Huston,
gih at apnic dot net
1. Problem statement
----------------------------
 ÂNetwork 1 (
1.0.0.0/8
) was allocated to APNIC by the IANA on 19
 ÂJanuary 2010. In line with standard practice APNIC's Resource Quality
 ÂAssurance activities determined that 95% of the address space would
 Âbe suitable for delegation as it was found to be relatively free of
 Âunwanted traffic [1].
 ÂTesting, conducted by APNIC R&D found that certain blocks within
 ÂNetwork 1 attract significant amounts of unsolicited incoming
 Âtraffic. [2]
 ÂAnalysis revealed that, prior to any delegations being made from the
 Âblock,
1.0.0.0/8
attracted an average of 140Mbps - 160Mbps of
 Âincoming traffic as a continuous sustained traffic level, with peak
 Âbursts of over 800Mbps. This analysis highlighted the individual
 Âaddresses 1.1.1.1 as the single address with the highest level of
 Âunsolicited traffic, and it was recommended that the covering /24
 Âprefix, and also
1.1.1.0/24
be withheld from allocation pending a
 Âdecision as to the longer term disposition of these address prefixes.
 ÂAs these addresses attract extremely high levels of unsolicited
 Âincoming traffic, the blocks have been withheld from allocation and
 Âperiodically checked to determine if the incoming traffic profile has
 Âaltered. None has been observed to date. After four years, it now
 Âseems unlikely there will ever be any change in the incoming traffic
 Âprofile.
 ÂThis proposal is intended to define a long term approach to the
 Âmanagement of
1.0.0.0/24
and
1.1.1.0/24
.
2. Objective of policy change
--------------------------------------
 ÂThe objective of this proposal is to allocate
1.0.0.0/24
and
 Â
1.1.1.0/24
to APNIC Labs, to be used as research prefixes.
3. Situation in other regions
-------------------------------------
 ÂOther RIRs (notably the RIPE NCC) have used their policy process to
 Âreview self-allocations of number resources to the RIR as a means of
 Âensuring transparency of the address allocation process. This
 Âproposal is consistent with such a practice.
4. Proposed policy solution
-----------------------------------
 ÂThis proposal recommends that the APNIC community agree to allocate
 Â
1.0.0.0/24
and
1.1.1.0/24
to APNIC Labs as research prefixes. The
 Âintent is to use these prefixes as passive traffic collectors in
 Âorder to generate a long term profile of unsolicited traffic in the
 ÂIPv4 internet that is directed to well known addresses to study
 Âvarious aspects of traffic profiles and route scope leakages.
 ÂAn experiment in gathering a profile of unsolicited traffic directed
 Âat
1.1.1.0/24
was started by APNIC Labs in 2013, in collaboration
 Âwith Google. This experiment was set up as a temporary exercise to
 Âunderstand the longer term trend of the traffic profile associated
 Âwith this address. Through this policy proposal we would like to
 Âplace this research experiment on a more certain longer term
 Âfoundation.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
----------------------------------------
Advantages
 Â- It will make use of this otherwise unusable address space.
 Â- The research analysis may assist network operators to understand
  Âthe effectiveness of route scoping approaches.
Disadvantages
 Â- The proposer is unclear what the downsides to this action may be.
  ÂThe consideration of this proposal by the community may allow
  Âpotential downsides to be identified.
6. Impact on APNIC
-------------------------
 ÂThere are no impacts on APNIC.
