  1. APNIC25 Feb 2008 Taipei Proposal to Change IPv6 Initial Allocation Criteria Japan Network Information Center Izumi Okutani

  2. Background • Voices are expressed by iDCs and small to medium sized LIRs in Japan that the current criteria is being a barrier for IPv6 allocation • All RIRs other than APNIC has removed revised the criteria to address the same concern from the community

  3. Current IPv6 initial allocation criteria • be an LIR; • not be an end site; • plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it will make assignments, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation; and • have a plan for making at least 200 assignments to other organizations within two years.

  4. Intended target of IPv6 allocations • ISPs/organizations of a substantial size that makes assignments to other entities in IPv6 • No endsites • No small ISPs/organization (e.g. scale equivalent of LIRs with IPv4 allocations)

  5. Current Problem • It is being a barrier to the intended target • i.e. criteria d) is not representative of conditions that intended target can meet • Needs explanation of the original intention to remove the barrier • Not functioning as criteria on its own Intended Target Those who meet the criteria

  6. Measure • Re-define the criteria so that the intended target can request for IPv6 allocations

  7. Basic Principles • the criteria should not be loser than the original intention • an equivalent scale as LIR in IPv4 AND assigns IPv6 to other organizations • should not be loser than the current criteria for native IPv6 networks • Maintain the current criteria as OR condition • the organization should actually use IPv6 • Announce routing within two years

  8. Proposed Criteria • be an LIR; • not be an end site; • plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it will make assignments, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation; and • Be an existing LIR with IPv4 allocations from an RIR/NIR which makes IPv6 assignments and/or sub-allocations to other organizations and announces the allocation in the inter-domain routing system within two years. OR have a plan for making at least 200 assignments to other organizations within two years.

  9. Major Issue raised on the ML • The criteria must ensure that allocated IPv6 will actually be used • Point taken. Routing requirement added • Perhaps still some concerns exist over the language? • No strong preference as long as it does not require a guarantee, and strength of language is consistent with other APNIC documents

  10. Q&A
