New on RIPE Labs: IPv4 Transfers in the RIPE NCC Service Region
by Mirjam Kuehne 21 May '15

21 May '15

Dear colleagues, Now that the RIPE NCC has reached its last /8, some Local Internet Registries (LIRs) are choosing to obtain additional address space from other organisations via the emerging transfer market. In this new article on RIPE Labs we examine statistics from the last two and a half years of transfers and visualise per country aggregates on a map: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/ipv4-transfers-in-the-ripe-ncc-servic… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Re: [address-policy-wg] 2014-03 Review Period extended until 19 May 2015 (Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments)
by David Huberman 20 May '15

20 May '15

Some data from the ARIN region, courtesy of Richard Jimmerson of ARIN: For the last several years ARIN has been registering AS numbers by issuing the lowest AS number we have in inventory to approved organizations. We ask those organizations if they would be willing to accept an AS number higher in the number range, and outside of the range that previously made up the 2-byte only AS number space. In 2014 we found that nearly 27% of the organizations approved for an AS number elected to receive a 4-byte AS number rather than take the lowest AS number in our inventory. Several organizations unwilling to receive a 4-byte AS number have indicated to ARIN that their transit providers strongly state a preference that their customers use AS numbers from the traditional 2-byte AS number range. More recently, because of a lack of 2-byte AS numbers in the ARIN inventory, the AS number assignments we make are 4-byte AS numbers and outside of the range that previously made up the 2-byte only AS number space. For those organizations who come back to ARIN specifically stating a preference for a 2-byte AS number, we may be able to continue satisfying their requests using AS numbers that have recently been added to the ARIN AS number inventory through returns or revocations. Very recently ARIN received a new assignment of AS numbers from the IANA. Roughly 90 of those were from the 2-byte range. In 2014 there were 12 organizations that elected to receive a 4-byte AS number and later came back to ARIN to exchange it for a 2-byte AS number. Each of these organizations stated issues with their transit providers either unwilling or unable to accept the use of a 4-byte AS number by a customer. 2014 total AS numbers issued: 1,579 2014 4-byte AS numbers issued: 416 2014 2-byte AS numbers issued: 1,163 David R Huberman Principal, Global IP Addressing Microsoft Corporation

2015-03 New Policy Proposal (Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size)
by Marco Schmidt 14 May '15

14 May '15

Dear colleagues, A proposed change to the RIPE Document "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy" now is open for discussion. The proposal aims to expand the criteria for evaluating initial IPv6 allocations larger than a /29. The RIPE NCC would consider additional aspects beyond only the number of existing users and extent of the organisation's infrastructure. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-03 We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net> before 27 May 2015.

Hi, > A good point and one that hadn't occurred to me. If this was to > be interpreted as "must make assignments", would this proposal > even be necessary? Everyone receiving resources and immediately > transferring them would be in violation of the policy and, > strictly speaking, all transfers of this kind that have already > happened would be invalid? My argument was mainly to point out that this behaviour is against the spirit of the policy, in response to: > So, yes, an assumption that one can join the NCC now and get a /22 with the intent to "sell" it is reasonable. But yes, if no assignments happened at all I agree that the allocation would not be according to policy. However, people trying to cheat the system could just make fake assignments for a short period of time and then they would strictly speaking comply with the policy. They would still be dishonest though, which is why I feel that we shouldn't take this practice into account when writing new policy. If you want to look up the history of this, here is the message from Tore when he introduced that line in the policy: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2013-August/00815… Cheers, Sander

Someone has made the comments on this article from ripe labs. Any comments from the community? How can this kind of thing happen in the ripe? Prior to the ripe depletion, it is even hard for my org to apply for a /19. Now my org can only apply for a /22! So as to keep low profile to have Lu Heng’s IPs sold. He had created another shell named Wuhan Yunwaiheng Information Technology Co., Ltd registered in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China ( its Chinese name is:武汉云外恒信息技术有限公司). And then have his IPs sold under this new shell without attracting too much attentions from the RIPE community. He has earned more than 4millions USD for selling his IPs. By the way, cos of this business structure, he can avoid heaps of taxes which should be paid to Netherland Gov and Overseas Gov. Rijksuniversiteit Groningen ( this is where Lu heng graduated) 31.201.0.0/16 2011-04-28 PA SOLD AS35916 (US） 37.222.0.0/15 PA SOLD AS16276 （ovh, France） ;AS35916 46.136.0.0/16 PA SOLD AS8312（kpn Netherland）;AS35916 5.132.0.0/16 2012-07-12 PA ( Split for sales） /17 left for future sale AS35916 5.224.0.0/15 2012-09-06 SOLD AS35916 178.236.224.0/20 PA Still available for Sale AS16276 Lu Heng still has /17 +/20 left available for Sale in RIPE and one aggregated Afrinic 154.80.0.0/12 ( Currently in Rental business). The Business structure of OutsideHeaven: The main Body of OutsideHeaven was registered in Tax heaven place ( Netherland). Then come the lower Body OutsideHeaven Hangzhou ( registered in Zhejiang Province of China) and the other lower Body Wuhan Yunwaiheng Information Technology ( registered in Hubei Province of China). Under this kind of structure, the company of Lu Heng has avoided to pay the taxes he should pay to the Chinese Government. His main Body registration info: His shell company’s registration info written in holland language. However, you can use google translate to understand. Please note this company does not pay any tax in Holland and in China.

Re: [address-policy-wg] mesh / community networks? 2015-03 New Policy Proposal (Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size)
by William Waites 11 May '15

Hi Vesna! Nice to hear from you. You say that this is about governmental networks but that is not actually mentioned in the proposal itself. If you are correct then the proposal should be changed to explicitly mention that. If you are not correct then this just leaves more discretion to RIPE, which is fine -- I've always found the NCC to be rational and reasonable. For an organisation like HUBS which has small but autonomous member networks and a /29, we basically do: 2a04:5d00::/32 -- pool for /64 networks with /44 allocated to each member. 2a04:5d01::/32 -- pool for /48 networks with /40 allocated to each member (currently unused!). 2a04:5d02::/32 -- reserved. 2a04:5d03::/32 -- reserved. 2a04:5d04::/32 -- experimental 2a04:5d05::/32 -- reserved. 2a04:5d06::/32 -- reserved. 2a04:5d07::/32 -- reserved. In a country with 5 million population -- even several times that -- this ought to be plenty. If we need more I would expect to have to justify it! This does not really bear on DFZ routing table size unless there is a global policy on the horizon that will forbid announcing /44 or /40 networks i.e. when one of our members becomes multi-homed. The current policy says, "If so, the allocation size will be based on the number of existing users and the extent of the organisation's infrastructure." Deleting this is ok. Also ok would be substituting "extent and structure" for "extent". Without knowing any better I would have interpreted this as giving equal weight to number of users and topology. If you have a lot of users you get a big allocation. If your topology justifies you get a big allocation. So it may actually be that we don't even need a new policy, just more clarity on the interpretation.

Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations
by Infinity Telecom SRL 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hello, If this proposal will be accepted: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-01 The price per IP found at "IPv4 Transfer Listing Service" will be double or even worst. Little companies will be out of business.. and we will be one of them. To pay double or even more for some spammed IP.. its not a good choice.. only because smart guys with no real internet business hold very large blocks This proposal should have more time, its not like any other proposal, this can affect activity for a lot of small companies. Thank you. -- Cu stima, Gabriel Voitis | Sales Manager voitis(a)infinitytelecom.ro INFINITY TELECOM SRL | Bd-ul Iuliu Maniu nr 7, Corp A, Scara 2 Mobil: +40 0725 677 477 | Tel: +40 021 7808805 | Fax: +40 021 7808806 contact(a)infinitytelecom.ro
