Regarding fragmentation and aggregation of IPv4 address space
by Ronak Banka 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Respected Team members, Myself Ronak banka currently doing my internship at NAv6, USM Malaysia under the supervision of Dr. Raja Kumar. I am presently conducting a Research on estimating the fragmentation and aggregation of IPv6 address space by comparing it with fragmentation and aggregation of IPv4 address space under RIPE, so I was in search of data regarding reasons for fragmentation of the address space and % contribution of those different reasons to fragmentation. If you could help me in this matter by providing any important details I would be thankful to you. Waiting for your reply in anticipation. -- Ronak Banka Internship student National Advance IPv6 Centre (NAv6) USM Malaysia contact: +60143064063

Cosmetic Surgery Project: Extended Review period on the new draft document for IPv6 Address Policy
by Emilio Madaio 31 May '11

31 May '11

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 59 in Lisbon in October 2009, the RIPE NCC announced that it would undertake a project to make various RIPE policy documents easier to understand without changing the meaning of the text. As already announced, the latest draft document produced according to the project is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/updated-documents/ This is the merger of the three policy documents: -ripe-512 "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy" -ripe-451 "IPv6 Address Space Policy for Internet Exchange Points" -ripe-233 "IPv6 Addresses for Internet Root Servers in the RIPE Region" The announcement of the publication of this new draft is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/address-policy-wg/2011/msg00243… The Address Policy Working Group co-Chairs decided to extend the review period until 13 June 2011 to allow the community more time to give their feedback. We encourage you to read this merged version and send any comments to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net by 13 June 2011. Best Regards Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

RE: [address-policy-wg] getting second IPv6 PA as a LIR

But you are telling small ISPs/NCOs/"hobbyusers"/whatever THEY don't get their business plan right if they don't can afford paying $$$ for PI space or rather would prefer to pay other bills with the money? WTF?! ------ No, the problem that the small ISPs you are speaking about will have to spend that money to swallow such routing table. And it is not $2000, "slightly" more...

I also support the proposal, my only thought would be if it might be better to use this change to make an overwrite of the 'current process' at the point of the first allocation of a /22 from the last /8 for the purpose of the avoidance of doubt...
