the industry, represented by vendors, operators and distributors,
and hosted by yours truly.

  * The new paradigm in submarine cable design, using SDM (Spatial

  * ... and a whole lot more!

[sig-policy] SAFNOG-6: Deferred - Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[Mark Tinka]

Hello all.

As you are aware, the world is facing the ongoing challenge of the
spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), which has had a material impact on
a number of local, regional and global events and businesses across
various industries.

Unfortunately, the preparation for SAFNOG-6, initially scheduled for the
September, 2020, has not been spared, as the pandemic has made
logistical planning uncertain amongst our sponsors, supporters and
venues. To this end, we have made the rather difficult, but responsible,
decision to defer the SAFNOG-6 meeting to 20th - 22nd September, 2021,
in order to ensure that safety and health comes first.

SAFNOG would also like to take this opportunity to encourage its and
other Network Operators Groups members to actively use and increase
their participation on this and other mailing lists around the world, as
the learning and engagement process never ends; and in fact, is probably
more crucial in these times. The operational community can continue to
exist successfully even throughout this period of social distancing.

We look forward to seeing you all in the near future, and wish you
continued good health and care.

[sig-policy] APRICOT 2020 Call for PC Volunteers

[Mark Tinka]

Hi everyone,

The APRICOT 2020 Programme Committee is responsible for the solicitation
and selection of suitable presentation and tutorial content for the
APRICOT 2020 conference (https://2020.apricot.net/).

The APRICOT PC Chairs are now seeking nominations from the community to
join the APRICOT 2020 PC to assist with the development of the programme
for APRICOT 2020.

Eligible PC candidates are those who have attended APRICOT conferences
in the recent past, have broad technical knowledge of Internet
operations, and have reasonable familiarity with the format of APRICOT
conferences. Having constructive opinions and ideas about how the
programme content might be improved is of high value too. PC members are
expected to work actively to solicit content and review submissions for
technical merit. The PC meets by conference call, weekly in frequency
during the three months prior to APRICOT.

If you are interested in joining the PC and meet the above eligibility
criteria, please send a brief note to "pc-chairs at apricot.net". The
note should include affiliation (if any) and contact details (including
e-mail address), and a brief description of why you would make a good
addition to the PC. PC members who are active, successfully solicit
content, contribute to regular PC meetings and submit reviews receive
complimentary registration for APRICOT 2020.

The PC Chairs will accept nominations received by 17:00 UTC+8 on Monday
21st October, 2019, and will announce the new PC shortly thereafter.

Many thanks!

 Hello,

 [Please pardon the top posting. I am on a mobile device.]

 Regarding your sentence:

 Any subsequent allocations [of an AS number] would fall under the
 same criteria, plus the extra burden of justification by the
 secretariat to justify additional ASNs.

 I humbly request the draft policy authors, the working group
 community, and the APNIC staff to think carefully about how such
 policy language will be written, and how such a policy would be
 implemented.

 My experiences have taught me that the answer to the question, why do
 you need an additional AS number? is not easily captured in either
 policy language or RIR procedures. Why? Because networks are not all
 built the same.

 In well-known situations, there are both regulatory and market-based
 forces which sometimes back network operators into engineering designs
 which lack polish. Secondly, network architects like to apply creative
 solutions to complex situations. What this means in the real world of
 network operations is that just because you would design Network X to
 use one AS number doesn't mean I designed it that way; my solution
 calls for two or three AS numbers.  And this is important because the
 RIR (in both its AS number policies and its internal procedures for
 reviewing requests) needs to recognize that when a network operator
 states he needs an additional AS number, he probably does.

 Most importantly, the RIR staff should not be put in a position to
 have to fully understand a network architecture and
 be required to adjudicate its worthiness for an additional AS number.

 Thank you for any consideration you can give to this matter, and I
 look forward to our discussions this week in Fukuoka.

 criteria - explanation.
  
 Hi all,

 Having read (most of) the feedback, Aftab and I will be putting a new
 version out probably either late Sunday or Early Monday.  I am at
 Haneda Airport flying to Fukuoka now and Aftab arrives in Tokyo and I
 believe will be arriving tomorrow morning. Once we've had time to
 confer, we will issue new wording.

 The object of this policy is to remove the need to be multi-homed to
 get your */initial/* ASN.  It is not designed to hand out ASN's like
 candy, not provide them to people who have no intention of multi-homing.

 It is designed for those who wish to announce their portable ranges
 via their own ASN using whatever routing policy they determine to be
 appropriate for the operation of their network, but removing the
 requirement to be immediately multi-homed, but having the intention to
 multi-home at some point (the timeframe should not be mandated) -
 whether that be permanently or not is not relevant.

 Any subsequent allocations would fall under the same criteria, plus
 the extra burden of justification by the secretariat to justify
 additional ASN's.

 The wording will be based around the above.

 The cases for this policy are numerous and the reasons Aftab and I are
 doing this together is to address several of them.

 - Entities not meeting the multi-homing criteria due to economic
 circumstances, regional access, etc.

 - Smaller entities, such as businesses with portable address space
 that would like more control and flexibility over how they announce
 their networks, and plan for multi-homing either as a future facility
 or for cloud/elastic on demand purposes.

 The major use case from my perspective is:

 - Due to IP runout (ISPs having less and charging more), and some
 requirements for being portable, I am assisting *many* businesses
 become APNIC members and their own address space.  Many of these
 initially are not multi-homed, but are planning to in the short period
 as they consider the elastic infrastructure available to them over new
 initiatives like Megaport and others - where layer 2, BGP to many
 'service' providers is the new way of doing business.  I did a
 presentation on Megaport and Elastic X-Connect Fabrics at the last
 APNIC in Brisbane for those who saw it.

 In Australia (and I am sure other places too), there is the new
 concept of opportunistic capacity - being able to buy transit on an
 as-needs basis for any determined time period... 1 week, 1 day, even
 hourly.  An operator might be single homed, but may wish to bring on
 elastic/On Demand transit capacity for short periods of time - at
 which point the would be multi-homed, but then disconnect and then be
 single-homed again.

 Here is a news article about this
 offering:

 If you only look at it through the lens of the current multi-homing
 requirement for an ASN then you don't need it, it is totally
 anticipatory and only a future need, but that is self-fulfilling.  I'm
 suggesting that multi-homing is too narrow of a definition of need for
 an ASN.  The PI assignment and what every justified that should also
 equally justify the need for ASN assignment.  The PI assignment was
 intended to be portable, also assigning an ASN simply is intended to
 facilitate that portability.  I'm saying that the need for portability
 is also a need for an ASN, if you look beyond multi-homing.

True, PI is meant to be portable, which is fine for IPv6 because we have
a lot of address space.

But don't you worry that you will blow through 4.2 billion ASN's soon if
PI allocation policy evolves to become liberal that 4.2 billion PI
allocations become a reality?

 HI Dean, here's the finding. Mind you I spoke mostly to existing members. we 
 should probably ask prospective members too.

 - Not all ISP provides (or those who do only do so very selectively) BGP 
 connection service
 - Lack of carrier neutral IXPs in some economies
 - Limited networking knowledge and skills

All of which are normal states of the Internet.

 Hi all,

 I'm neither for nor against the proposal. As an additional information I'd 
 like to share a presentation that I made early last year about ASNs in the 
 Asia Pacific region, when I visited a few operators in China. While it 
 highlighted the relatively low use of ASNs in AP region compared to Europe 
 and North America, it didn't put blame on allocation policy. But could or 
 should the policy help? I don't know. It's up to the community to decide. 
 We've had a very good discussion so far. Thanks!

I think this highlights the issue in question - there need not be any
linear relationship between IP addressing and ASN routing. Service
providers (and end users) simply care about being online. The biggest
issue around that is how devices can be uniquely addressed on the
Internet, more so for China given how many they are as a populace, and
how many IPv4 addresses are (not) left for them to chew on.

If a service provider can fix their most pressing issue, which is a lack
of IP addresses, that might rate higher in priority than needing an ASN
if they do not necessarily have a need to define their routing policy
separate from their ISP's or the rest of the Internet.

My concern with issuing an ASN to anyone that obtains PI space is that
PI space can be obtained both by service providers and non-service
providers. Are we saying that a mom-and-pop shop that qualifies for PI
should also get an ASN? If, for some reason, technology suggests that
every mobile phone needs PI space because we've got tons of it in IPv6,
and RIR policy is updated to cover such use-cases, suddenly, 4.2 billion
ASN's does not seem like a lot anymore.

I suppose the issue here is that as many billions as the resources are,
they are still finite. We do not know what might increase their rate of
take-up in the future, but if history is anything to go by, the
opportunity is always there. So allocating ASN's just because is
something I do not support, as an up  coming enterprise that needs IPv6
PI space may not have a need to advertise their routing policy to the
Internet, because they are a simple shop who rely on their ISP for all
their routing.

 OK, that's an interesting approach.

 What is the reason for this? Would be curious to hear from other
 operators as well, on what issues it may cause if you are a single homed
 portable assignment holder and cannot receive a global ASN.

My experience with downstreams who have needed address space without the
need for an ASN is so they can have independence from their provider's
address space, but do not necessarily have the skill-set or budget to
run an autonomous system.

So I do not think that it is necessarily wise to tie IP address
resources to ASN resources in this way, by default. It is a valid
operational approach for networks that require the address space - but
not the autonomous system routing - to have their upstreams run their
address space behind the upstreams ASN. As an operator running network
across Africa, Europe and south Asia, we see and handle these use-cases
all the time. In my experience, most customers in this scenario are more
concerned with address space than routing.

 We would know which organization the ASNs are assigned to, as those
 upstream ASNs are already used.

 We don't have a formal mechanism to check the authenticity of the POCs
 but usually check the e-mails provided are reachable. We would find it
 suspicious if the domain name of the e-mail provided is different from
 the domain used for the organization or free e-mail accounts.

 It's not formal in the sense that we request upstream ASNs to register a
 POC. I suppose therefore you can still forge domain name, etc, but it is
 sufficient in our case to give credibility above a certain level.

In the AFRINIC region, the membership have been mostly frustrated by
this added step by the AFRINIC hostmasters. But personally, I support if
they can always enforce it, as it adds some kind of proof that the
application information is reasonably genuine and the chances of faking
needs are somewhat reduced (which is better than not being reduced).

Of course, an applicant could collude with the ISP to let them claim the
applicant is, in fact, going to buy services that warrant the allocation
of resources. However, this comes back to the integrity of the ISP. Not
100% foolproof, but a step in some direction.

 JPNIC requests for contact information for those ASNs they plan to be

 We sometimes we contact the upstreams and confirm the plan and this
 seems to be working OK.

AFRINIC do the same thing.

They reach out to the ISP that the applicant has listed in their
application form to confirm whether, indeed, there are real plans for
the applicant to connect to to said ISP.

I'm not sure if they do the same for exchange points, as I'm not in that
space.

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

[Mark Tinka]

While I tend to agree that the current draft policy in its form needs
more work, I empathize with the long-held concern of detachment between
the RIR and network operations. This is a well-documented issue that
affects several other policies within various RIR communities, and not
just this one nor APNIC. Take assigned prefix length and what operators
filter against as an example.

Globally, perhaps we would do well to find way to make RIR operations
and policy design reflect the practical day-to-day changes taking place
within operator networks, or at the very least, make a provision for
them that sufficiently covers what the future may throw up.

I don't think any of us have the answers now, but it starts from somewhere.
