While on the surface this might seem prudent, it may be onerous for smaller players. More information might be needed to determine adverse cases, or possibly some exemption for rural players that might not be able to attain a 3rd participant.

The ARIN AC would appreciate input from the community on this policy.

Specifically, do you support raising the number of participants required
to obtain an IXP micro allocation from 2 to 3?

Thanks,
Andrew

Draft Policy ARIN-2014-7
Section 4.4 Micro Allocation Conservation Update

Date: 4 March 2014

Problem Statement:

Two networks interconnecting are generally considered to be private
peers. The current policy allows an IXP to receive a micro-allocation
with only two devices. Given IPv4 exhaustion and the growth of IXPs in
North America it is prudent to raise the minimum criteria so that
micro-allocation space is not wasted.

Policy statement:

Change the following paragraph in Section 4.4 from:

Exchange point operators must provide justification for the
allocation, including: connection policy, location, other participants
(minimum of two total), ASN, and contact information.

To:

Exchange point operators must provide justification for the
allocation, including: connection policy, location, other participants
(minimum of three total), ASN, and contact information.

Comments:
a.Timetable for implementation: Immediate
b.Anything else:
