  1. Alternative criteria to renumbering in initial allocation after the final /8 phase Izumi Okutani (JPNIC) Terence Zhang (CNNIC)

  2. Introduction • We would like to share the implications of keeping the renumbering requirement in initial allocation criteria after the final /8 phase • Would like to make a conscious decision as the forum even if we are going to keep the requirement as it is

  3. Intention of the last /8 block • In principle, it should be used to enable IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack environment during the transition phase/interim measure to face IPv4 address pool run out • It is not intended for expansions of existing IPv4 service

  4. Who are eligible and how Each LIR is eligible to receive a single IPv4 block of minimum size New LIRs Must meet the Initial Allocation Criteria Existing LIRs Must meet the Subsequent Allocation Criteria

  5. Current Initial Allocation Criteria To be eligible to obtain an initial allocation, an LIR must: have used a /24 from their upstream provider ordemonstrate an immediate need for a /24; have complied with applicable policies in managing all address space previously allocated to it (including historical allocations); demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /23 within a year; and commit to renumber from previously deployed space into the new address space within one year. The purpose is aggregation into allocation block(s), Not reclamation

  6. Renumbering Criteria in Initial Allocation • Before the final /8,APNIC could make allocations to new LIRs to compensate for IPv4 assignment(s) returned to the upstream • After the final /8, APNIC can no longer compensate for IPv4 assignment(s) returned to the upstream • The renumbering requirement in practice will result in reclamation of a new LIR's IPv4 address holding used for its existing network • This will affect over 95% of new LIRs

  7. Issue with renumbering requirement after the final /8 phase APNIC The allocation from the last /8 Existing LIR T= IPv6/IPv4 Translation Function IPv4 from the last /8 Return assignments T Existing IPv4 NW IPv4 assignments From upstream A New LIR must return IPv4 block(s) used in its existing network in order to receive IPv4 block required for IPv6/IPv4 translation function in its network

  8. Keeping the renumbering requirement in initial allocation • New LIR (no IPv4) IPv4 from the last /8 Newly built IPv6 NW T Affects over 95% of new LIRs IPv6 allocation(s) Existing IPv4 NW b) New LIR (IPv4 from upstream) IPv4 from the last /8 T Existing IPv4 assignment(s) Upstream LIR return Existing IPv4 NW IPv4 from the last /8 c) Existing LIR T Existing IPv4 allocation(s) T= IPv6/IPv4Translation Function

  9. Summary of the issues • Keeping the renumbering requirement in initial allocation after the final /8 phase will in practice mean a reclamation of a new LIR’s IPv4 holdings for existing network to receive necessary IPv4 block for IPv6/IPv4 translation • It will affect over 95% of new LIRs • Difficult to provide a rationale reason why existing LIRs are allowed to keep their past allocation but not new LIRs

  10. Proposed Change in Initial Allocation Criteria • Keep the justification requirement as it is in the current initial allocatation criteria • Provide an alternative option the renumbering criteria • Demonstrate 80%(*) usage of the past assignments * 80% is consistent with the % utilization required in subsequent allocations

  11. Initial allocation criteria a.f./8(prop-094) To be eligible to obtain an initial allocation, an LIR must: have used a /24 from their upstream provider ordemonstrate an immediate need for a /24; have complied with applicable policies in managing all address space previously allocated to it (including historical allocations); demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /23 within a year; and commit to renumber from previously deployed space into the new address space within one year. OR Demonstrate that the usage rate of previous IPv4 address space holding from their upstream provider(s) reached 80% Prop-094 suggests to add this alternative

  12. Additional Note • Even if this proposal doesn’t reach consensus, we would like to propose to at least share the implications to new LIRs when applying for initial allocation • they must return their existing IPv4 address holdings to its upstream LIR, if they wish to receive IPv4 block from the last /8
