I also agree that the policy should include some statements regarding IPv6 allocation. In fact I think that existing LIRs have very well warned about the end of the world^H^H^H^H^H IPv4 address space available so I think that the proposal should be more in the lines of: 1. New LIRs: Get the minimum allocation IF they already have a IPv6 allocation OR the ask for an IPv6 allocation in the same request. 2. Existing LIR: Sorry boys, you had a lot of time to prepare for this. 3. OK. Agree with a secuirity pool. Regards, Fernando El 15/10/08 17:42, "michael.dillon@bt.com" <michael.dillon@bt.com> escribió:
I wonder why this policy doesn't require the LIRs to have an IPv6 allocation before they apply for one of the last few IPv4 blocks? Is there any good reason to give out one of the last IPv4 blocks to an LIR which has no intention of deploying IPv6?
In other words, if the policy is intended to only provide enough IPv4 resources to ease the transition, shouldn't the policy also require that the LIR has taken the basic step of getting an IPv6 allocation?
It would also be nice if the policy had a clearer statement about this being a quota or rationing system.
