I also said that I had comments in section 6.
The comment relates to sections a and b of item 3 of the registration template
- the prefix size.
The lack of guidance on specific prefix allocations in both the accompanying
eid-block draft and this draft probably should be addressed. What we want is a
balance between ease of access and the lack of imposition bureaucratic registry
evaluation procedures and some statement of the expectation of restraint to
allow all potential experimenters access to a registration in this block.
One possible approach would be to state a default allocation size, and might I
suggest that a /56 is an appropriate balance between utility and convenience
and the considerations of the initial scale of this experiment. If the
registrant is seeking a default size allocation (or smaller) then the template
should note that no "rationale" would be necessary.
Another option (which I prefer) is to state that it is possible to request
allocations of between a /64 to a /48, and that while the rationale would not
be formally assessed by the registry, any allocation of larger than a /56 would
require a rationale text, and this text would be part of the published
registration. i.e. "no questions asked and no explanations given for a
registration of a prefix of a /64 through to a /56, and an explanation would
need to be provided for larger prefixes, and this explanation would be
published (i.e. the justification becomes a justification to the other
participants in the experiment as to why this particular participant believes
that they require a larger prefix, rather than a justification to the registry
operator) This would mean that the registry function is kept simple, presumably
cheap (i.e. free) and accessible to experimenters of most shapes and sizes.
I'm not sure that the experiment details (section 4) are necessarily part of
the registration process.
here's an amended section 6 that incorporates these comments.
EID Prefix Registration template
Note that all details in this registration become part of the registry, and
will be published in the LISP EID Prefix Registry
1. Organization (In case of individuals requesting an EID prefix
this section can be left blank)
(a) Organization Name
(b) Organization Address
(c) Organization Phone
2. Contact Person (Mandatory)
(a) Name
(b) Address
(c) Phone
(d) Email
3. EID Prefix Request (Mandatory)
(a) Prefix Size
(b) Prefix Size Rationale
Note that Prefixes from a /64 to a /48 may be registered.
No rationale text is required for prefix sizes up to and including a
/56. The rationale text will be part of the public registry of
EID Prefixes.
Note that the registration is for a 12 month duration, and must be
renewed at the end of this period.
Note that the registration will cease upon termination of the
experimental LISP EID block allocation..
4. Reverse DNS Servers (Optional)
(a) Name server name:
(b) Name server address:
(c) Name server name:
(d) Name server address:
(Repeat as necessary)
