From recent discussions in wg-bb@lists.apnic.net MAEMURA Akinori JPNIC IP Committee / FTLD Address Policy SIG at 13th APNIC Open Policy Meeting
Abstract • Explaining background • Propose slight amendments in policy document and proposed guideline to ensure the service for LIRs
What happened with wg-bb field in Japan? • Japan takes an explosion of CATV and ADSL services just like Korea had in 2000 • Some of Japanese CATV/ADSL operators suffer from sort of shortage in allocated IP addresses • Consensus of the last Policy SIG regarding WG-BB was reported in JPNIC Open Policy SIG and got some negative response from Cable/ADSL operators and also some amendment proposals • wg-bb had some discussions around it and have some issues to be fixed
Problem with default initial alloc size(1) • Current Consensus • Allow default size of initial allocation as /24 for one CMTS • Problem • CMTS is not appropriate because it can be have some downstream port • Amendment Proposal • Allow default size of initial allocation as /24 for one DOWNSTREAM port
Problem with default initial alloc size(2) • /24 is sufficient for default size of initial allocation? • /24 seems to be insufficient especially in case of 30Mbps spec cable, in Japan • /23?
Problem with shortage of allocated IP addresses • Problems in practice(1) • Applying subsequent allocation after 80% usage often brings IP address shortage due to extreme rate of customer increase • Especially in case of ADSL services in Japan now • Policy is documented to allow advanced applications when rest 20% isn’t so big as the assignment request LIR gets
Problem with shortage of allocated IP addresses • Problems in practice(2) • Initial/subsequent allocation size tends to be insufficient, e.g. lasting three months • Due to insufficient allocation size of NIRs, sometimes • Three months can be passed with one month evaluation of allocation, one month design by outsourced SIer, one month implementation. • Sometimes this goes longer and ISPs encounter the shortage. • Policy says NIR/RIR can allocate amount of “up to ONE year”(in 7.6(current) 9.4(proposed)). We can remove “three months at least”
Problem with shortage of allocated IP addresses • I know this is sort of OPERATIONAL and PRACTICAL, not Political • So I’d like to propose to Include in Policy, a statement like • NIR and RIR should allocate IP addresses in sufficient size and allow requests to be submitted sufficiently in advance to prevent LIR’s shortage of allocated IP address.
Summary • Proposing an amendment for current guideline • Allow default size of initial allocation as /24 for one DOWNSTREAM port • Is sufficient? Is /23 better? • 2. Proposing an amendment for current policy document • RIR/NIR should try to prevent IP address shortage at LIR
