Kind Regards, Sumon, Bertrand, Ching-Heng APNIC Policy SIG Chairs ------------------------------------------------------- prop-120-v002: Final /8 pool exhaustion plan ------------------------------------------------------- Proposer: Tomohiro Fujisaki fujisaki at syce dot net 1. Problem statement -------------------- APNIC makes IPv4 address delegation from two IPv4 pools. These are the 103/8 (Final /8) pool and the non-103/8 IPv4 Recovered pool. Currently, there are no IPv4 addresses in the non-103/8 IPv4 Recovered pool and APNIC manages a Recovered Pool Waiting List for approved requests. And, based on the Geoff's projection (*1), the 103/8 (Final /8) pool will be exhausted in a few years. It will be necessary to make a guidance about how to manage the IPv4 delegation after both IPv4 pools exhaustion. 2. Objective of policy change ----------------------------- To provide a guidance for 103/8 pool exhaustion. 3. Situation in other regions ----------------------------- None. 4. Proposed policy solution --------------------------- Guidance for 103/8 pool exhaustion: - The first time an approved request cannot be fulfilled from the 103/8 pool, a waiting list will be created. That waiting list will be managed same as recovered pool waiting list. - APNIC continue to manage two pools, the recovered pool and the 103/8 pool. 5. Advantages / Disadvantages ----------------------------- Advantages: - Possible to avoid confusion at 103/8 address pool exhaustion date Disadvantages: None. 6. Impact on resource holders ------------------------------ No impact to resource holders. 7. References ------------- 1.
