2006-07 New Draft Document Published (First Raise in IPv4 Assignment Window Size)
by Filiz Yilmaz 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

PDP Number: 2006-07 First Raise in IPv4 Assignment Window Size Dear Colleagues We have published a draft document for the proposal described in 2006-07. This proposal suggests the Assignment Window (AW) available to new LIRs should automatically be raised from zero (0) to /21 (2,048 IPv4 addresses) six months after they receive their first allocation. Because the sub-allocation policy references the AW policy, the sub-allocation policy also needs to be updated. This proposal suggests that the maximum sub-allocation should be kept at /20 (4,096 IPv4 addresses). You can find the full proposal at: http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2006-07.html and the draft document at: http://ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/2006-07-draft.html We encourage you to read the draft document text and send any comments to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net before 20 February 2007.

Routing policy for a costomer
by z.chy 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Dear Address working Group IN RIPE NCC Congratulation to you for new year. there are important questions about PA assignment addresses to a customer. If a customer have a black PA IPV4 addresses (f.e: /22) from one lir with specified ASN which has been routed though it,and decide to reroute it from another ASs is it possible?IN fact there are 2 situation: 1.this customer have a block of PA IPV4 from LIR1 with ASn1 and route it.Simultaneously the customer decide to reroute it from another internet provider (ASn2).Is it possible?what policies are considered to RIPE and LIR1?weather the customer need to get agreement with LIR1?HOW? 2.The customer decide to disconnect internet link from LIR1 and connect through another ASN but have preferred to hold PA addresses from LIR1 and route it from another provider and new provider has accepted to route LIR1 PA addresses.Is it possible reroute it without renumbering?and weather RIPE NCC agree to this matter ?if it need to agreement with LIR1 ,what policie are considered by LIR1 and their customer? Many thanks to explain clarify this matter. The best regards.

Hello all, I have been out of the IP field for a few years so forgive me if my question is about old news, but here it is: Is the decrease in the percentage of used IPv4 space in the United States of America due to other countries increasing their usage and/or the return of unused IPv4 space in the United States of America?

2006 IPv4 Address Use Report
by Iljitsch van Beijnum 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

2006 was another busy year for the five Regional Internet Registries: together, they gave out 161.48 million IPv4 addresses, just shy of the 165.45 million given out in 2005 as measured on january first 2006. The current (jan 1st, 2007) figure for 2005 is 175.52 million addresses. Together with adjustments for earlier years, this brings the total addresses available to almost exactly 1.3 billion, down from 1468.61 million a year ago. This is out of 3706.65 million usable IPv4 addresses, so 2407.11 million addresses are currently given out to either end-users or Internet Service Providers. Breakdown by Regional Internet Registry over the past few years as seen on 2007-01-01: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 AfriNIC 0.56 0.39 0.26 0.22 0.51 1.03 2.72 APNIC 20.94 28.83 27.03 33.05 42.89 53.86 51.78 ARIN 30.83 28.55 21.08 22.32 34.26 47.57 38.94 LACNIC 0.88 1.61 0.65 2.62 3.77 10.97 11.50 RIPE NCC 24.79 25.36 19.84 29.61 47.49 62.09 56.53 Total 78.00 84.73 68.87 87.82 128.92 175.52 161.48 Compare this to the totals as seen on 2006-01-01: Total 78.35 88.95 68.93 87.77 128.45 165.45 (See last year's report for more details at http://www.bgpexpert.com/ addrspace2005.php ) The main reason for the discrepancy is that the RIRs publish on their respective FTP servers lists of which address block was given out when. When a block of address space is given back by the holder, it's removed from the list. This is the reason why the numbers for earlier years keep going down. The 10 million extra addresses in 2005 and 4 million in 2001 are the responsibility of ARIN, which went from 36.30 million addresses for 2005 in their 2006-01-01 records to 47.56 in their 2007-01-01 records. The reason for the retroactive growth is unknown. AfriNIC gives out address space in Africa, APNIC in the Asia-Pacific region, ARIN in North America, LACNIC in Latin American and the Caribbean and the RIPE NCC in Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA, part of ICANN) keeps an overview of the IPv4 address space at http://www.iana.org/ assignments/ipv4-address-space. The list consists of 256 blocks of 16.78 million addresses. Breakdown: Delegated to Blocks +/- 2006 Addresses (millions) AfriNIC 1 16.78 APNIC 19 +3 318.77 ARIN 27 +4 452.98 LACNIC 4 67.11 RIPE NCC 22 +3 369.10 Various 50 838.86 End-user 43 721.42 Available 55 -10 922.74 Of the 2063.60 million addresses delegated to the five Regional Internet Registries, 1685.69 million have been delegated to end-users or ISPs by the RIRs, and 377.91 million are still available, which is almost identical to last year's 378.09 number. Along with the 922.74 million addresses still available in the IANA global pool this makes the total number of available addresses 1300.65 million, down 167.96 million from a year earlier. The size of address blocks given has been increasing steadily. The table below shows the number of requests for a certain range of block sizes (equal or higher than the first, lower than the second value). (2005 and earlier values from 2006-01-01 data, 2006 values from 2007-01-01 data.) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 < 1000 326 474 547 745 1022 1309 1526 1000 - 8000 652 1176 897 1009 1516 1891 2338 8000 - 64k 1440 868 822 1014 1100 1039 1133 64k - 500k 354 262 163 215 404 309 409 500k - 2M 19 39 29 46 61 60 56 > 2M 3 5 5 6 7 18 13 The number of blocks in the two smallest categories have increased rapidly, but not as fast as the number of blocks in the largest category, in relative numbers at least. However, the increase in large blocks has a very dramatic effect while the small blocks are insignificant, when looking at the millions of addresses involved: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 < 1000 0.10 0.16 0.18 0.25 0.35 0.44 0.52 1000 - 8000 2.42 4.47 3.23 3.45 4.49 5.07 6.10 8000 - 64k 18.79 12.81 11.35 14.00 15.99 15.46 17.17 64k - 500k 35.98 32.19 20.28 25.51 42.01 34.23 49.64 500k - 2M 12.68 24.64 21.30 31.98 44.63 41.63 46.64 > 2M 8.39 14.68 12.58 12.58 20.97 68.62 41.42 The increase in the 2M+ blocks was solely responsible for the high number of addresses given out in 2005. In 2006, there was growth in all categories except the 2M+ one (even the 500k - 2M category increased in number of addresses if not in number of blocks). When the 2M+ blocks are taken out of the equation, 2005 had a total of 96.83 million addresses (2006-01-01) and 2006 119.06 million given out.

32-bit AS Number Requests
by Dominic Spratley - Registration Services Manager 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that from 1 January 2007 we will accept requests for 4-byte (32-bit) AS Numbers. The request form and supporting notes are available in the RIPE Document Store at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asnrequestform.html http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asnsupport.html Assignments will come from the following range: 3.0 - 3.1023 ASN32 objects will appear in the RIPE Database from 1 January 2007. Their format is different from the current 16-bit ASNs. The new format is described in these documents: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representatio… http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-uijterwaal-rpsl-4byteas-ext-01.txt The introduction of 32-bit AS Numbers may have an effect on tools that query the RIPE Database or those based on RPSL. Kind Regards, Dominic Spratley Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC
