Proposal for change to the IPv4 PI allocation policy
by Mikael Abrahamsson 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hello. Following a discussion between some people and the resulting request to bring the discussion here I would like to propose a change to allocation policy for small PI blocks. Today it's a problem that the ISP industry BCP involves filtering all announcements smaller than /24 from BGP, this meaning that a smaller allocation from RIPE is pretty much unusual in the "real world" if you want to be on the public internet. I would therefore like to see a discussion about making it an option to actually get a /24 for routing reasons, disregarding current policy of disallowing routing problems as justification to request an allocation bigger than you might be able to justify from address usage alone. I know I ran into this problem when I first started in the ISP business around 1995, and it's still there, so might it be time to change? People with enough experience will creatively "enhance" (ie lie) address requests to actually reach the /24 size today, and people without experience will make an honest request and then run into practical problems with their newly allocated space when they want to use it in real life, due to it being filtered because it's too small according to industry BCP. This is of course a bad situation either way and I hope it can be rectified. Thanks for your attention. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike(a)swm.pp.se

Hello Marco, I don't have access to that list so could you relay my comments that current and accurate contact info should be required and that lack thereof should be possible grounds for de-allocation, depeering, disconnection, etc. Many of the most abusive spam gangs use completely fraudulent and broken contact info.
