by Sander Steffann 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hello working group, The review period for the new RIPE Document described in proposal 2008-08 has ended. During the review phase we have seen on the mailing list: - one positive comment (Bais) - one comment to go forward in the PDP with some extra comments intended for the future evolution of a more comprehensive certification policy (Volk) Based on this feedback we (the address policy working group chairs) have decided to move this policy proposal to the Concluding Phase and start the Last Call for Comments. The documents on the website will be updated to reflect this and an official announcement will be sent out once this is done. Thank you all for your contributions, Sander Steffann RIPE Address Policy WG co-chair

getting second IPv6 PA as a LIR
by Marcin Kuczera 04 May '11

04 May '11

hello, Is it possible to discuss ability of getting second IPv6 PA allocation as a LIR without filling first one ? The reason for such a need is a change of IPv6 PI rules, it is no longer possible to use IPv6 PI as ISP (/128 for subscibers). So, solution is that LIR segment /32 into smaller units an assigning them to their SponsorLIR agreement customers. However, first /32 IPv6 allocation is in our case advertized as whole by our AS13000. Once some internal policy for suballocations is used, this prefix can not be divided into smaller prefixes. For SponsorLIR agreement customers - little ISPs, willing to advertise their i.e. /48 from our /32 without any overlapping prefixes, second /32 IPv6 PA (not advertised as whole by LIRs ASes) would be great... Regards, Marcin

Michiel, > Not everything on the internet is a bussiness with needs and > a large bag of > cash. Please also consider the non-profit organisations with > valid reasons > of running their own PI network. I'd be quite interested in hearing/reading your thoughts about the 'valid reasons' you see. I currently can't think of any non-multihoming PI requirement in establishing internet access for enterprises (and non-profits / ngo are alike in the meanwhile) that validate driving additional cost for every network to support their PI without technical need. kind regards, Marcus

Status of 2010-01 (Temporary Internet Number Assignment Policies)
by Gert Doering 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Dear AP Working Group, RIPE Policy Proposal 2010-01 (Temporary Internet Number Assignment Policies) concluded its Last Call phase on 28 December 2011. After consultation between the Working Group Chairs, however, it has been decided that reporting of the process in this case was insufficient, that is, the working group has not been properly informed why the WG chairs have decided to go to Last Call. It has therefore been decided that the Last Call phase for this proposal should be repeated. Emilio will announce a new Last Call phase today or tomorrow. The reason why we decided to go for Last Call in the first place, and are now doing it again: - Feedback to the mailing list regarding the proposal itself has been mostly positive. - A few people voiced concerns in the mailing list discussion, and at the RIPE 61 meeting, but when specifically asked at the RIPE 61 meeting whether they wanted to see changes now or go ahead with the proposal, those raising the concerns agreed to move forward with the Policy Development Process and look at changes in future revisions. - It was agreed that it's important to have a reservation for temporary IPv4 assignments in place while there still *is* something to reserve - and that the specific details of the implementation can always be changed later on. You can read the full text of the proposal at: http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2010-01.html The (draft) meetings from the RIPE 61 APWG meeting can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/groups/wg/ap/minutes/minutes-from-ripe-61 (just search for 2010-01) Gert Doering -- APWG Chair -- did you enable IPv6 on something today...?

IPv6 PI request is turned down for my multihomed hosting facility - Why?
by Jan Tuomi 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi, A have made a request for a IPv6 PI / 48 allocation for my hosting facility. I am mostly hosting shared services, but I also have a lot of Co-located services for my customers. I am already multihomed to have redundancy from two ISPs for IPv4 and I am going to setup the IPv6 Network the same way. My ASN is 196704, and I am multihoming trough IP-Only (AS12552) and Telenor (AS8434). My sponsoring LIR says that I can get an assignment from their PA-space right away, BUT then I would not be multi-homed, so that is NOT an option. The answer I get from you (RIPE) is: You mentioned that several of the subnets will be used to provide services to your customers (LEON Hosting, Co-location/Dedicated servers). Unfortunately current IPv6 address assignment and allocation policy does not permit the use of IPv6 PI address space for these services. At this time IPv6 PI address space cannot be used for any service where a customer would receive a subnet of IP space (including a single IP). Therefore it cannot be used for colocation services, dedicated servers, SSL certificates etc. There is currently a discussion on exactly this subject within the RIPE community. Ventiro AB are welcome to sign up for the mailing list and join the discussion. You can find the mailing list here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/ripe-lists/address-policy-wg I need to be multihomed because i feel its safer to have redandancy from separate upstreams with separate infrastructure than buying the redundancy from one provider. My business is to keep servers running in my hosting facility, part of them owned by me, part of them owned by the customers. Some servers are shared among several customers, some are dedicated to one customer only. With todays technology as far as I know I must have separate IPs for SSL-enabled services. Is it RIPEs hidden agenda to put small hosting facilitys out of business with IPv6 and force all customers to use the bigger ISPs? When I requested my IPv4 PI allocation, I was already planning to also run with IPv6 to be prepared for the future and somehow try to help with the transition to IPv6, so people dont have the arguments that we dont use IPv6 because there is no services, its now so much services from a global point of view, but it wouldnt be IPv4 only.... So what should I do? What are my options? // Janne _______________________ V E N T I R O ______ Janne Tuomi, tuomi(a)ventiro.se Tel: +46-11-36 52 00 GSM: +46-70-224 6000 Fax: +46-11-36 52 05
