Nope. Couldn't happen. More seriously, yes, one could in fact take out any connectivity one wants by withdrawing routes (which is reportedly what Egypt did), and if you hit enough interchange points that could get serious. At the risk of sounding naive and pollyanna-ish, we have a few more of those interchange points in the US than they have in Egypt. In theory, yes.

As theses companies push smaller competing ISPs out of business, and as they consolidate (e.g. Cablecos buying each other up, resulting in fewer and fewer cablecos over time), we head down the direction of Egypt, where pressure on just a few companies CAN shut down the entire internet. Otherwise we end up with a few companies that will play Visa and PayPal and roll over and play dead when a government official says Wikileaks is bad - and equally easily will shut down their entire networks for national security.

RE: Post-Exhaustion-phase punishment for early adopters
-Original Message- From: Jimmy Hess [mailto:mysi...@gmail.com] The most important thing to ensure usage is recognized is that the entire address space is announced plus routed, I don't speak on behalf of a community, but in the past there have been people reminding the ARIN community that there are valid uses for address space, contemplated by rfc2050, in addition to routing on the public Internet. You might look into the option of signing the Legacy RSA: https://www.arin.net/resources/legacy/ Available until Dec 2011; If your allocation predated ARIN. Yes. You might decide you don't like some provision, but it would be careless not to look into it. I doubt the community is going to scour through all the /24 allocations and try to reclaim them, however. It's not that legacy /24 allocations don't matter, if they are entirely derelict, but the /8s are the ones that sort of matter... sort of, because a /8 reclaimed could provide a few months of IP addresses for a RIR. Agree; according to https://www.arin.net/knowledge/statistics/index.html ARIN has been issuing 20,000 - 50,000 /24 per month for the past few months. A /24 wouldn't extend runout time by a full minute. It's not likely but conceivable, that the RIRs could decide to make a policy of reviewing legacy resources and revoking allocations with bad contact info, or apply an efficient usage criterion requiring return/renumbering, for legacy resource holders who have no RSA. That would be an exciting debate. Lee

A couple of bits will allow that. I didn't claim 8 bit average (if I accidentally did, my apologies). I claimed a minimum of 8 bits. Somewhere between 12 and 16 is more likely. However, with new ARIN proposals, we will see shorter shifts (yet still over 8 bit shifts) as it does nibble allocations for everything (pop assignments nibble aligned, ISP allocations nibble aligned, ISP to ISP reallocation policies). It treats utilization as a 75% bar with nibble alignments to allow for proper growth at the ISP level. So for me, my /30 will at least expand out to a /28, though I will have to reanalyze the pop allocations with the new rules, as it's possible I may bump to a /24 (if I end up expanding to a /27 of actual current usage). You need to look very closely at any ISP that only shifts 8 bits going from IPv4 to IPv6, something dodgy is probably going on. This is not to say it is deliberately dodgy. Currently, I agree. It should be between 12 and 16 normally. However, new policy proposals are designed in such a way that the bit shift may only be 8. However, this also depends on the ISP. As ISPs do look towards dropping v4 in priority, they will also look at redesigning some of their pop layouts. This is actually a case for me. Due to growth and utilization issues on IPv4, I've concentrated pops into supernodes to better utilize the v4 I have (95% utilization of pools which cover much larger customer sets, versus a bunch of smaller utilized pools which have less utilization rates as the pops don't grow at the same rate). However, I have areas this is reaching a critical point, and the IPv6 model is dividing up into smaller pop nodes. Since I don't have address space concerns for IPv6, structuring the network and customer termination into a better layout is more appropriate. What's more, in most cases, I can accomplish v4 supernodes and v6 separation at the same time; and I'll see the benefits as more customers shift to actual v6 connectivity. Jack

However, the pollution is also something the victims need, so it's not really pollution at all, unless an excessive number of slots are used it's more meat than trash, the pollution model doesn't exactly make sense; the basic announced routes for connectivity are not like pollution. They are more like fertilizer... nutrients that are absolutely essential when utilized in appropriate quantities, but harmful in excessive quantity. And if too many use them in excessive quantity, then polluted runoff is released as a side-effect. There is an assumption that waste is so rampant, that a per-slot cost would lead to efficiency, and no loss of connectivity or stability, but there appears to be lack of data validating the suggestion. Private routing slot markets could be a huge can of worms... and we thought peering spats were bad. Some $BIG_DSL_PROVIDER is going to refuse to pay some $BIG_HOSTING_PROVIDER (or anyone else) for their routing slots, they will know that their size makes it too unpallatable for anyone else on the market to _not give them_ the slots, even if they are one of the larger polluters with numerous announcements. Other providers simply can't afford to be the provider whose customers can't reach $HIGHLY_POPULAR_WEB_SITE. If $BIG_HOSTING_PROVIDER's routers do not have $BIG_DSL_PROVIDER's routes, $BIG_HOSTING_PROVIDER's customers will scream, and jump ship for $other_hosting_provider that has $big_dsl_provider routability. There will be other $BIG_COMPANYs that as well have superior negotiating position, and noone else will be in a position to discard their routes, when they refuse to pay, or negotiate a price that reflects their superior position (rather than one reflecting cost of their excessive use of routing slots). So first of all... if there's a buying and selling of routing slots a market. It cannot be a voluntary market, or it will simply lead to a chaotic situation where numerous big providers get free routes, and everyone else has to pay the big providers extortionate/disproportionately high fees because they _have to have those slots_ due to so many of their hosting customers requiring $big_provider connectivity. To ascertain a market in the first place... need to know How is the number of slots that will be on the market determined? Who gets to initialize the market; create and sell paid 'routing slots', and what will give them the power to enforce all users of routing slots buy from them... Are these one-time purchases... or do 'routing slot' purchases incur maintenance fees? How would the 'ownership' of a slot get verified, when a route is announced? How is it decided how much cost 'repayment' each AS gets? Who is going to make sure each AS fully populates their table with each routing slot they have been paid to fill and they do not populate any slots that were not purchased by the originator on the open market? The idea of 'ownership' of other people's things (slots on other people's routers) generally requires the AS owning those things to sell them. That would suggest each announcer of routes having to go to each AS and paying each AS a fee for slots on their routers --- not only would it be expensive, but the communication overhead required would be massive. So clearly any market would need to be centralized; transactions would need to happen through one entity. One buy/sell transaction for a routing slot on _all_ participating ASes.

And if you believe, as it appears you do from the integration of your messages on this thread, that anyone anywhere will be able through any legal theory to *force* Sony to make that older PS3 work on IPv6, then the term for your opinion, in *my* opinion, has changed from optimistic to nutsabago. :-) No. I believe I can force through legal choices hotel providers to refund my internet access charges if they block certain ports. I've done so. I believe that Sony will offer IPv6 software upgrades for the PS-3 because they will eventually realize that failing to do so is bad for future sales. From up here at 30,000ft, the entire deployment of IPv6 has been cripplingly mismanaged, or we wouldn't be having all these conversations, still, now. Having had them 5 years ago would have been well more than good enough. And it will start to bite, hard, very shortly. An interesting perspective. The problem with that theory is that nobody actually manages the internet. It is a collection of independently managed networks that happen to coordinate, cooperate, and collaborate on a limited basis to make certain things work. I agree with you that many organizations and individuals could have acted differently to achieve a more optimal transition. However, they didn't and we are where we are. As a result, I think it is far more productive to move forward and make the transition as quickly and effectively as possible than to dwell on claims of mismanagement which lack both a meaningful target and any form of useful resolution.

Supercomputers generally cost tens of millions of dollars back then, approaching $100 million if you took the infrastructure into account. I worked on a $100M supercomputer proposal as it evolved into 50 tons of chilled water on the roof to shoring up the roof to hold that much water, to running a private gigawatt power line from the local utility thru Boston...etc. And the sort of people who needed access to those supercomputers were spread across the country (and world of course.) It was becoming a matter of whether to move the researchers, not very practical (how many finite element analysis experts do you really need at one university?), or buy each of them a supercomputer (kind of expensive), or try to hook them up remotely. At first dial-up seemed plausible but data visualization, graphical access, became more and more important even in the late 1970s and early 80s. Researchers were shipping large cartons of magtape so they could use local computers to generate graphical results of their computations. It was unwieldy to be kind.

Yes. Sorry, but I think the technical implications of a goal to survive 'hostile battlefield conditions' versus 'nuclear attack' are (small pun) massively different. Hence I think the actual language used matters. And the fact that the common language around the net during the '70s was the former and not the latter matters. Which is why it would be helpful to get some credible documentation about use of the latter. I'd expect the major difference in the two terms is the scale of the outage. A few square miles, versus possibly thousands. To that end, I remember an anecdote about van Jacobson from the 1989 quake in California that might provide some insight about a large-scale outage:[1] He was living in Berkeley but was visiting Stanford when the quake hit and he wanted to check that his girlfriend was safe. Of course, the phone didn't work.[2] Out of sheer frustration and the need to do /something/ he sent her an email. He got a response within a few minutes. Surprised that the net was still working (and working quite well), he did a traceroute from the Stanford system to the one his girlfriend was using.[3] Not surprisingly, the path did not cross the San Francisco Bay, as it normally would have. Instead it went down to Los Angeles, across the southern US, up the East Coast and back across the Northern U.S. Although the outage was fairly small-scale, the scale of the re-routing suggests that a larger, 'regional' outage from something like a nuclear event would adapt readily. (We can ignore the additional question of EMP effects, since that only affects the scale of the outage.) And, of course, there have been other test cases since then... d/ [1] This is anecdotal; I've never confirmed the story with him. [2] That does not automatically indicate a system failure, given the switch to an emergency mode for the phone system that restricts access during major events like these.

Re: Leasing of space via non-connectivity providers
On Feb 6, 2011, at 2:16 PM, David Conrad wrote: As you're aware, RFC 2050 was a group effort, so focusing on Jon's intent seems questionable particularly given he sadly isn't around to provide corrections. While it may have been a group effort, Jon was the IANA. With regards to specific language, you reference section 2.1.1. You'll note that this is in a section talking about guidelines for how ISPs should deal with address space. It is saying ISPs should treat assignments to their customers like loans. Section 2.1.3 is talking about two different things as indicated by the terminology used. The future _allocations_ may be impacted is talking about allocations made from the RIR to the ISP. The existing _loans_ may be impacted is saying the RIR could ignore assignments the ISP has made to its customers (making it a bit difficult for the ISP to get new space). Interesting viewpoint in separating the two, as the full context is: If the information is not available, future allocations may be impacted. In extreme cases, existing loans may be impacted. Your suggestion that existing loans may be impacted means to be ignored for evaluating future allocations does seems a bit superfluous when taken in full context, but obviously must be considered as you are one of the authors. One wonders why it just doesn't repeat future allocations may be impacted for the second sentence. Do you have any similar suggestions for how to reinterpret the transfer section, i.e. The transfer of IP addresses from one party to another must be approved by the regional registries. or The party trying to obtain the IP address must meet the same criteria as if they were requesting an IP address directly from the IR. ? So, if you believe ARIN policy applies to all space, you're saying that ARIN at one time violated the section of RFC 2050 you quoted and that later, ARIN changed that policy. This sort of policy evolution is exactly what was envisioned when we wrote RFC 2050. We assumed policies would change over time, and as such RFC 2050 was merely documenting the current practice as it was in 1996. This is why I always find your referencing 2050 as if it is sacred text curious. It's fairly difficult to have a consistent global registry framework that the regional registries operate under unless its actually followed by the regional registries. What would have been best would have been to separate the document into two; one for the overall Internet Registry requirements technically necessary, and then one with the current view on appropriate allocation policy. I wasn't there, so I can't say why the two are combined. In the particular instance you point out, I'm happy to say ARIN is back in alignment with RFC 2050 as written. In thinking about this, since RFC 2050 was focused on IPv4 allocation policy and there is no more IPv4 to allocate, 2050 should probably be moved to historic. It certainly would be worth considering revising to maintain the portions which are an inherent technical requirements from IAB/IETF versus those which are a snapshot of registry policy at the time. It also is interesting to consider which forum(s) such an activity should take place in, since it's clear that an overall framework is necessary for the system to keep working globally. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN

Re: What's really needed is a routing slot market
What's really needed is seperate the routing slot market from the address allocation market. Bingo! In fact, having an efficient market for obtaining routing of a given prefix, combined with IPv6 vast identifier space, could actually satisfy the primary goals that we hold for a long-term scalable address architecture, and enable doing it in a highly distributed, automatable fashion This is not unlike the oft made comment that if you could just charge a fraction of a cent for every mail message, there would be no spam problem. They're both bad ideas that just won't go away. Here's some thought experiments: 1) You get a note from the owner of jidaw.com, a large ISP in Nigeria, telling you that they have two defaultless routers so they'd like a share of the route fees. Due to the well known fraud problem in Nigeria, please pay them into the company's account in the Channel Islands. What do you do?

Hi Joel, It couldn't and wouldn't work that way. Here's how it could work: Part 1: The Promise. If paid to carry a particular route (consisting one specific network and netmask, no others) then barring a belief that a particular received route announcement is fraudulent, a given AS: A. Will announce that route to each neighbor AS which pays for Internet access if received from any neighbor AS, unless the specific neighbor AS has asked to receive a restricted set of routes. B. Will announce that route to every neighbor AS if received from any neighbor AS who pays for Internet access, unless the specific neighbor AS has asked to receive a restricted set of routes. C. Will not ask any neighbor AS to filter the given route or any superset from the list of routes offered on that connection. D. Will assure sufficient internal carriage of the route within the AS's network to reasonably meet responsibilities A, B and C, and extend the route or a sufficient covering route to every non-BGP customer of the network. Part 2: The Payment. Each AS who wishes to do so will offer to execute The Promise for any set of networks/netmasks requested by the legitimate origin AS for a reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) price selected by the AS based on reasonable estimates of the routing slot costs. The preceding not withstanding, an AS may determine that a particular route or AS is not eligible for carriage at any price due to violations of that AS's terms of service. If such is determined, the AS will not accept payment for carrying the route and will refund any payments made for service during the period in which carriage is not made. Needless to say, the origin AS with two routers can offer a RAND fee to carry routes, but not many will take them up on it. They'll have to carry the route or institute a default route if they want to remain fully connected. The folks who will get paid are the ones who collectively are the backbone where you, as the origin, can't afford for your route not to be carried. These are, of course, the same folks who are presently the victims of routing pollution who pay the lion's share of the $2B/yr routing slot costs yet have little choice but to carry the routes. Part 3: The Arbiter. One or several route payment centers collects the RAND offerings and makes them available to origin ASes in bulk sets. You write one check each month to the Arbiter and he collects your routes with his other customers and makes the appropriate Payments for the Promises. Part 4: The Covering Routes. ARIN and the other RIRs auction the rights to offer a covering route for particular /8's. The winner announces the whole /8 but gets to break the RAND rule in the Payment for covered routes. An origin AS can still choose to have everybody carry his routes. But he can also choose to have just the paid paths to the AS with the Covering Route carried, or some fraction of ASes that includes those paid paths. Or he could buy transit tunnels from the Covering Route AS anchored to PA addresses from his individual ISPs. Or he could do a mix of the two. Regardless, the origin AS ends up with full reachability without needing his explicit route to be carried the breadth of the Internet. Note that I use the term auction very loosely. The winner could be the qualified AS willing to pay a fixed nominal fee and promise the lowest carriage fee / 95th percentile tunnel transit fee. At any rate, you get a healthy potential for route aggregation through payment selection by the origin AS. If more precise routing is worth the money, they'll pay the slot cost. If not, they'll rely on the covers. Or if it works out that a router costs $5M because it has to carry 10M routes, who cares as long as you're being paid what it costs? Yay? Yay!

If I buy transit from you and want to send you a mess of routes, you might charge me more for my transit on account of that. Perhaps I get one free prefix announcement per x amount of bandwidth I am buying ? If we are peering then prefix balance might join traffic balance as a way to think about whether the arrangement is good for both peers. All of these arrangements occur between directly peering or transit providing neighbors. If I buy transit from you, I expect you to pay any costs needed to get my routes out to the world (and probably to charge me accordingly).

Do you have any similar suggestions for how to reinterpret the transfer section, i.e. The transfer of IP addresses from one party to another must be approved by the regional registries. or The party trying to obtain the IP address must meet the same criteria as if they were requesting an IP address directly from the IR. ? As opposed to section 2, section 4.7 seems pretty unambiguous to me: it was an attempt by the registries at the time to conserve the remaining IPv4 free pool by disallowing the bypassing of registry allocation restrictions. Do you reinterpret it differently? It certainly would be worth considering revising to maintain the portions which are an inherent technical requirements from IAB/IETF versus those which are a snapshot of registry policy at the time. I hear Mark McFadden, since he hated his life, was working on 2050bis... :-) More seriously, RFC 2050 was an attempt to document the then current (in 1996) practices for allocating IPv4 addresses. Instead of revising that 15 year old document, I'd think a document that describes the role and responsibilities of the registries in a post-IPv4 free pool world would be much more valuable. My impression is that there is a bit of a disconnect between the folks who go to RIR meetings and the folks who have IP addresses (particularly those folks who received their addresses prior to the existence of the RIRs). Might be useful to remedy this. It also is interesting to consider which forum(s) such an activity should take place in, since it's clear that an overall framework is necessary for the system to keep working globally. Yeah, too bad no one set up an organization whose By-Laws and Mission is to coordinate, at an overall level, the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers capable of providing such a forum.

Actually, I'm in full agreement with you: the goal needs to be to keep the Internet running. Alas, I've run a few networks, but that's a few years back, and I'll be the first to admit that my particular graybeard views on what is best for the Internet lacks current operational insights. Also note that, as CEO of ARIN, it is not my role to preempt discussion by proposing solutions, but instead to encourage good discussion of the issues. So, what exactly is broken and needs to be changed? I do know that we can't have the basic premises of the system completely set on a regional basis, but we also have to allow for regional differences in policy since operators face different challenges. While the discussion is ongoing, we're keeping to the principles of aggregation, conservation, and registration, and looking forward to any consensus that emerges from the operator community to change these principles. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN

However that's an incredibly high priority for me, and I hope to be at parity with v4 by end of Q1.
