new policy idea for PA allocations
by Remco van Mook 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

[ This email is *not* about 2007-08 but something else that crossed my mind, expect a revised 2007-08 soon ] Dear all, I want to hear your feedback on an idea that I've been playing with for a while - it has to do with the way the RIR allocates blocks of space to an approved IPv4 PA allocation request. Currently that's very simple. Once the request is approved for, say, a /15, you get a single routable block of space, a /15. But what do we do when the RIR does not have that size block anymore? Allocate multiple blocks to that request (so, for example, 2 /17s, 1 /18, 5 /19s and 2 /20s)? What I would suggest is that we set into policy that the RIR, in cases like this, allocates a single best-fit routable block of IPv4 space. So, if the request is for a /12 and the biggest block the RIR has left is a /14, you get a /14. The rationale behind this is quite simple: the requester is not going to be happy to get a bunch of /24s from all over the swamp space to fill his request, and at the same time we remove the risk that a single request is able to wipe out the entire RIR reserves. Smaller requests can still be fulfilled and the LIRs that need more space simply need to come back more often - the 80% usage rule still applies. As long as the RIR has a supply from IANA, this rule will have no operational impact as far as I can see. I'm hesitant whether we should apply this to PI requests as well - I'd say yes but that does have an impact on the way we're currently handling that... Let me know what you think.

RE: [address-policy-wg] 2007-08 Review Period extended until 9 July 2008 (Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources)
by Kelaidi Christina 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Dear Milton and colleagues ETNO, in coming to the position that it did, considered the transfer issue from all angles, and the points that you raised in your e-mail were part of that consideration. ETNO will continue to contribute the RIPE mailing list in the future but see no reason at this stage to change its position.

RE: [address-policy-wg] 2007-08 Review Period extended until 9 July 2008 (Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources)
by Kelaidi Christina 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Dear colleagues Regarding the policy proposal 2007-08: strong arguments in favour and against this policy proposal have been raised by a large number of members of the Address Policy working group mailing list. ETNO has raised a number of issues, including significant concerns regarding the possible impact of this proposal. ETNO's main concerns relate to: 1) the potential impact of an IPv4 market; and, 2) ensuring the stability of the IP addressing bottom-up policy development processes. In particular ETNO has mentioned that facilitating a market that attaches an intrinsic "value" to an IP address would engage competition authorities, policymakers. The emergence of market forces on addressing policy will raise legal issues that could have detrimental impact on the successful bottom-up processes that keep the Internet community from being engaged in discussions regarding intervention or new models of governmental control. ETNO is convinced that allowing for transfers within a single RIR region will not result in the release of significant -- or, long-term -- blocks of address space available for new entrants in the addressing community. Even so, it is important to maintain the transfer policy that addresses the situation where addresses are being transferred between organisations in situations such as mergers or acquisitions. ETNO believes that any transfer policy should provide a number of safeguards. Specifically, ETNO believes that several of the criteria set currently for allocation of IPv4 addresses should be implemented during transfers, e.g. all IP address transfer requests "should be approved by the regional registry. If any assignment is found to be based on false information, the registry may invalidate the request and return the assigned addresses back to the pool of free addresses for later assignment". The proposed policy 2008-07 does not provide according to ETNO sufficient safeguards and therefore ETNO could not support the 2007-08 Policy Proposal, Enabling Methods for Reallocation of IPv4 Resources, as it stands.
