WRT ISPs "under current policy means" under 4.2.2 and 4.2.2. which in short says roughly: For ISP initial: The ISP must already have at least a /24 from their provider, and show that the space they are using is efficiently used. They can then one for one swap their re-allocation for a direct allocation from ARIN (gotten from ARIN or the transfer market). If they want more IP space then what they are currently using, they need to show 3 month [or 24 month for transfers] growth projections "showing specifically how the requested allocation will be utilized" For additional ISP space: They must show 80% utilization, with no blocks less than half full. "Determination of the appropriate allocation to be issued is based on efficient utilization of space within this time frame, consistent with the principles in 4.2.1." 4.2.1 includes slow start. So if the IP space you need in the next 3 months [24 months for transfers] is more than what you used in the previous 3 months [24 months for transfers] you get slow started. That means, you get double what you had the last 3 months [24 months for transfers], you use it up, you show utilization, and double again so long as the most recent space was utilized in less than 3 months [24 months for transfers] There is quite a lot of teeth in there to prevent abuse. WRT end-users "under current policy means" under 4.3.3 and 4.3.6.1 For end-user initial: "Requesters must provide appropriate details to verify their one-year growth projection. The basic criteria that must be met are: - 25% immediate utilization rate, and - 50% utilization rate within one year." For end-user additional: They must demonstrate 80% utilization on average, and no block less than half full, and then use the same initial criteria. There is no slow-start. The only thing that limits abuse is the threat that ARIN might check for compliance with the requirement to use 25% in 30 days [60 days for transfers]. Without this check you are free to make any wildly optimistic plan that supports a wildly optimistic growth projection and then in two years time simply say "plans changed. We are still going to that, but over 10 years instead." This easily becomes: 1. make a wildly optimistic plan, 2. officer attest to it, 3. end-run around need. Which is nearly 2015-7 for end-users which is: 1. officer attest to the statement we think we might need X in the next 2 years 2. end-run around need. I maintain that the 30 day check has been useful in mitigating abusively large requests, and without it there is no teeth in the policy to prevent abuse. If I am wrong about this, please explain what mechanisms are in place to mitigate an end-user asking for approval for a 10 year supply of addresses on the grounds that if things go really really well, it will only be a 2 year supply? If I am not wrong about this, then did people realize that this policy is basically an end-run around giving out addresses based on need when they voted to move this policy forward? ___Jason > > I am not confusing it with 2015-7: Simplified requirements for > demonstrated > > need for IPv4 transfers.
