With these statistics, I fail to see the problem that was being addressed
as opposed to the problem is now causes by limiting the way people do their

Owen,

Of course, there is the possibility (probability) of this, but that would
be stupid as the costs of maintaining companies would exceed CGN or other
methods to alleviate the need.

The issue here is that APNIC needs to be satisfied it is a real M, which
should not be that hard to do.

Re: [sig-policy] prop-123-v001: Modify 103/8 IPv4 transfer policy [SECURITY=UNCLASSIFIED]

2018-01-31 Thread Skeeve Stevens
I have multiple clients who are going through M of smaller ISPs and now
have resources they need to use but can't combine them under their
membership and have to maintain a legal company just to hold the resources.

This could cost a couple of thousand dollars per year in Australia for ASIC
fees, Annual Tax Returns and Accountant Fees.

I am considering advising clients to let the companies die, keep records of
an internal transfer of assets (resources), and point lawyers at APNIC if
they do not update the registry records.

In an M there is no need to justify the use of resources as they are
already using them and will continue to do so under the original (whatever
that is) justification. It is not the right of APNIC to interfere with a
business lawfully carrying on its operations and I think the courts will
agree. APNIC is a registry operator and record keeper. They are already
drifting from their chartered purpose too much in my opinion and should be
put back in their place.

I agree, but there needs to be some protection for APNIC on the resources
left.

But I think the APNIC EC can probably decide on the best way to evaluate
this themselves.

So define it better. This could be undertaken by the EC outside the scope
of policy IMHO.

2018-01-31 Thread Skeeve Stevens
Agreed.  I do agree that there needs to be some protections to avoid abuse
of the last /8 resources, but, there seems to be a policy failure elsewhere
in APNIC in relation to the evaluation of M which is allowing abusive
transactions to occur.

Re: [sig-policy] prop-123-v001: Modify 103/8 IPv4 transfer policy

2018-01-31 Thread Skeeve Stevens
I very much support this policy. A policy should not be retrospectively
applied otherwise anything any of us may do or plan to do can be considered
guaranteed, and I would see a case for requesting APNIC to return funds for
any services provided that have been negated by policy changes.

I also very much object to the 5 year period that snuck in at the last
APNIC meeting. I was happy with 2 years, but 5 years is unreasonable.

I was going to make a submission to change this back to 2 years, but
unfortunately, work got in the way and I did not get the submission in on
time. Next meeting maybe.

Hi Lu,

1st: I would say no.  There are no followups after allocation and there
should not be due to the many complication issues that can happen.

2nd: I would say no.  The changing of network infrastructure should NOT
invalidate the original request which is approved.

Re: [sig-policy] Prop-115 returned to author for further consideration

2015-09-12 Thread Skeeve Stevens
Masato-san,

With the greatest respect for Tomohiro-san and Ruri-san and yourself, I am
very disappointed with your decision to return prop-115 to the list AGAIN
for discussion and for a survey.

You asked for consensus on a Survey and asked who was FOR it - no one (I
can see)... who was AGAINST - no one (I can see).  Your response was "since
there is no objection to have such survey" - BUT there was no support
either!  You've chose to spend money and time of APNICs on something that
no one cares about - at all.

You say below that the proposal did not reach consensus. NO ONE supporting
it - apart from the authors is the definition of consensus - which is that
it is *not* supported. It is also now at its third version and there is
STILL no support. (for history see
https://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-115)

It had no support even in Japan at APNIC 39 - does this not say something
that a policy in the home country does not even get up?

Masato, why are you keeping this proposal alive? to the point of spending
money and resources on it.  This is starting to smell like you are looking
out for a fellow countryman or APNIC wants it to happen.  I would hope as
Chair this would not be the case, but all indications point to it as you
will not let it die based on the overwhelming lack of support the proposal
has.

I have nothing against this policy as such... I just think that it is an
overhead that the ISPs rather than APNIC needs to do.  I am not against
it... or for it.  But I am against you trying to push along a policy on
life-support until people get so bored someone supports it into existence.

Community... if you support this proposal... then SHOW you do... here...
now.  If you do NOT support it, then please (again) also state that you do
not - before money is spent on it.

 prop-113-v002: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria
 -

 Proposer:   Aftab Siddiqui
   aftab.siddi...@gmail.com

   Skeeve Stevens
   ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


 1. Problem statement
 -

 The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple
 eligibility criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be
 eligible to receive IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates
 that “an organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed
 with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multi-home
 within one month” (section 3.3).

 The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if
 there is no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even
 when there is only one upstream provider available, this has created
 much confusion in interpreting this policy.

 As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect
 or fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or
 barred themselves from applying.


 2. Objective of policy change
 --

 In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
 modify the text of section 3.3.


 3. Situation in other regions
 

 ARIN:
 There is no multi-homing requirement

 RIPE:
 There is no multi-homing requirement.

 LACNIC:
 Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect.

 AFRINIC:
 There is no multi-homing requirement.


 4. Proposed policy solution
 

 Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations

 An organization is eligible if:

 - it is currently multi-homed

 OR,

 - currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24,

 AND

 - intends to be multi-homed

 OR,

 - intends to be multi-homed

 AND

 - advertise the prefixes within 6 months



 5. Advantages / Disadvantages
 --

 Advantages:

 Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small
 delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as
 determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in
 Section 3.3.

 Disadvantages:

 There is no known disadvantage of this proposal.


 6. Impact on resource holders
 -

 No impact on existing resource holders.

2015-03-04 Thread Skeeve Stevens
Owen,

It just feels like nitpicking and moving chairs around.  I actually trust
the Secretariat to do the right thing when allocating resources.  We're
also talking about a resource where there are over 4.1 billion ASN's still
available... not that it should be a justification to wastage, but it is
useful for context.

The APNIC stats are:

 How many ASN - % of Membership

no ASN

56.59%

2

5.55%

6

0.28%

7

0.15%

8

0.04%

10

0.13%

more than 10

0.31%


I'm unsure why you guys want to see each and every use-case set in stone.
I don't want to have to come back and do amendments picking on a word here
or there because there has been an innovation in the way networks are
operated.


I fully support the idea that this isn't a free-for-all.. but we need some

Owen,

That is almost, but not quite ok.

There may be cases where you have the same reason to do this for a second
or third ASN.

Say I need one for an isolated network in HK, or NZ, or KH with a
completely separate routing policy?

The same criteria should apply for the first and 10th?

 Very interesting and useful stats.  Are there non-member ASNs, maybe

 the ratio between member and non-member ASNs?  I'm not really expecting
 that much, but on the other hand I don't want to assume either.

[sig-policy] Updated Text - Prop-114v003

2015-03-04 Thread Skeeve Stevens
In this text, the suggested guidelines have been removed to be replaced
with:


- you have been previous allocated provider independent address space
by APNIC AND


- intend to multi-home in the future




This policy can be reviewed on an annual basis for any impact on the number
of allocations of ASN and if there has been any detrimental effect.

prop-114-v003: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

---

Proposer:  Aftab Siddiqui

  aftab.siddi...@gmail.com

  Skeeve Stevens

  ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


1. Problem statement



   The current ASN assignment policy states two eligibility criteria and
that both criteria should be fulfilled in order to obtain an ASN. The
policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e. multi-homing and clearly
defined single routing policy must be met simultaneously, this has created
much confusion in interpreting the policy.

   As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information to
get the ASN or barred themselves from applying where they still have a
valid justification for obtaining an ASN.


2. Objective of policy change

-

   In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN assignment by
providing alternate criteria to obtaining an ASN.


3. Situation in other regions

-

ARIN:

It is not mandatory but optional to be multi-homed in order get ASN

RIPE:

Policy to remove multi-homing requirement is currently in discussion and
the current phase ends 12 February 2015 (awaiting Chair decision)

   Policy - https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03

LACNIC:

Only inter-connect is mandatory not multi-homing

AFRINIC:

It is mandatory to be multi-homed in order to get ASN.


4. Proposed policy solution

---

An organisation is eligible for an ASN assignment if:

- they are currently multi-homed OR

- you have been previous allocated provider independent address space
by APNIC AND


- intend to multi-home in the future




5. Advantages / Disadvantages

-

Advantages:

By adding the additional criteria of Guidelines managed by APNIC
Secretariat, this would enable the Secretariat to make decisions based on
common or rare use cases, but that may still be a valid request.


Disadvantages:

It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain ASN’s
more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s in the
region.  Given the relative ease of obtaining an ASN with ‘work around’
methods, we do not perceive this will actually have any effect.


6. Impact on resource holders

-

No impact on existing resource holders.

[sig-policy] Updated Text - Prop-113v003

2015-03-04 Thread Skeeve Stevens
The only addition to this text was the clarification of demonstrated need.
It is not being removed and will remain in place as below.

Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate
that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and
50% within one year.

prop-113-v003: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria



Proposer:  Aftab Siddiqui

  aftab.siddi...@gmail.com

  Skeeve Stevens

  ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


1. Problem statement



The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple eligibility
criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be eligible to receive
IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates that “an organization is
eligible if it is currently multi-homed with provider-based addresses, or
demonstrates a plan to multi-home within one month” (section 3.3).

The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if there is
no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even when there is only
one upstream provider available, this has created much confusion in
interpreting this policy.

As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect or
fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or barred
themselves from applying.


2. Objective of policy change

-

In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to modify
the text of section 3.3.


3. Situation in other regions

-

ARIN:

There is no multi-homing requirement

RIPE:

There is no multi-homing requirement.

LACNIC:

Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect.

AFRINIC:

There is no multi-homing requirement.


4. Proposed policy solution

---



Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations

An organization is eligible if:


   -

   it is currently multi-homed OR



   -

   currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24, AND
   intends to be multi-homed OR



   -

   intends to be multi-homed


AND


   -

   advertise the prefixes within 6 months


Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate
that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and
50% within one year.

5. Advantages / Disadvantages

-

Advantages:

Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small
delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as
determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in Section
3.3.


Disadvantages:

There is no known disadvantage of this proposal.


6. Impact on resource holders

-

No impact on existing resource holders.

Re: [sig-policy] Policy SIG session schedule

2015-03-03 Thread Skeeve Stevens
I agree with Izumi.

That a policy can be reverted at the AMM when it is passed at Policy SIG is
unacceptable.  It is duplication, redundant and a waste of time.  Policy
should be 'reported' at the AMM, but not discussed or debated, as the
Policy SIG is the appropriate venue for this.

 Great to know this Philip.

 We had simliar issue last year, where we discussed about the proposal on
 reserving a space for DNS anycast, and due to parallel session, some
 operators could not attend. It got rediscussed at the AMM and the
 consensus at Policy SIG got reverted. I think it's not efficient that
 consensus decisions needs to be rediscussed due to parallel sessions and
 not everyone could participate at Policy SIG.

 I provided input to an APNIC staff after the session last year and would
 like to raise this again.

   Good point, getting greater operator participation in the policy
 processes is
   important. APRICOT and APNIC having joint meeting is one of the good

   Policy SIG session @APNIC 39, there will be some short background
 instroductions
   by APNIC staff (could be someone from the community who is familiar
 with the
   policy history in future) before the proposal discussion, I think
 it's a very good
   way to faciliate the new comers to understand and join the discussion.
  
   I'm thinking if we set part of or whole Policy SIG session on the

   when APRICOT or APCERT sessions are running, say Tuesday, or
 Wednesday, will
   it help that more operators attend the policy discussions?
 
  That depends. If it’s a parallel track to something operators would
 consider more interesting,
  then probably not.
 
  If it’s _THE_ track at that time, then it might work, or, it might turn
 into shopping time, etc.
 
  As near as I can tell, the problem is less one of accessibility than

   In theory, this is why each RIR has a public policy process open to
 any who
   choose to participate.
  
   The fact that operator participation in the process is limited
 (voluntarily by
   the operators themselves) continues to cause problems for operators.
 This
   not only affects RIRs, but also the IETF, ICANN, and other
 multi-stakeholder
   fora covering various aspects of internet governance and development.
  
   If you have a suggestion for getting greater operator participation
 in these
   processes, I’m all ears.

   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

 Dean,

 What you are saying is your rose coloured view of this.

 You say they can get an ASN anytime they need one for operation
 purposes.  I am saying that the case exists that operators will want to do
 this - WITHOUT the requirement for being multi-homed.

 The requirement for being multi-homed, 'as written' causes members to
 either lie to provide false information or find a way around the
 restriction (using HE or someone else) to choose how they wish to manage
 their network.

 You choosing to ignore this use case or situation doesn't make it go away
 because you don't understand why they would want to manage their network in
 that way.

 I believe we've entered the point of diminishing returns here.

 It has been shown multiple times in this thread that there is no barrier
 to getting an ASN if one is required under the current policy.  This fact
 has been supported by the current hostmasters.  Operators currently have
 the freedom to choose how to manage their networks, they can choose to get
 an ASN anytime they need one for operational purposes.

 There is no change in policy required.

 I strongly oppose this policy as written.

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

2015-02-25 Thread Skeeve Stevens
Dean,

You are quoting an RFC from 1996 (19 years ago)?  What next, the Old
Testament? Thou shalt be multi-homed?

I don't think this RFC ever envisioned the IP runout and that networks
hosted by businesses themselves (of any size) would need multi-homing and
in the reading of this, you could make an argument that no-one needs an ASN
and that all their upstreams could host their portable space for them.

Please understand, that I am not suggesting giving an ASN to anyone who has
no intention of ever multi-homing.

I am wanting to policy to reflect that if a network operator wants to
design their network for multi-homing, that they should be able to, with no
requirement to immediately multi-home.  At no point did I say 'never'
multi-home, or no intention of multi-homing the intention should be
there.

I'm asking that the policy reflect an operators choice to decide how they
manage their networks should they choose to do it that way.

 Actually the RFC makes this clear.

 There is clear guidance within RFC1930 for this which is marked as BEST
 CURRENT PRACTICE.  Please someone let me know if I've missed an
 obsolescence here.

 All of the situations you are talking about are described as rare and
 should almost never happen.  If you believe that the RFC is wrong and no
 longer constitutes best practice, then engage in the IETF community and try
 and fix this at the source rather than using RIR policy to justify a
 departure from documented current best practice.



 5.1 Sample Cases

*Single-homed site, single prefix

 A separate AS is not needed; the prefix should be placed in an
 AS of the provider. The site's prefix has exactly the same rout-
 ing policy as the other customers of the site's service
 provider, and there is no need to make any distinction in rout-
 ing information.

 This idea may at first seem slightly alien to some, but it high-
 lights the clear distinction in the use of the AS number as a
 representation of routing policy as opposed to some form of
 administrative use.

 In some situations, a single site, or piece of a site, may find
 it necessary to have a policy different from that of its
 provider, or the rest of the site. In such an instance, a sepa-
 rate AS must be created for the affected prefixes. This situa-
 tion is rare and should almost never happen. Very few stub sites
 require different routing policies than their parents. Because
 the AS is the unit of policy, however, this sometimes occurs.

*Single-homed site, multiple prefixes

 Again, a separate AS is not needed; the prefixes should be
 placed in an AS of the site's provider.

*Multi-homed site

 Here multi-homed is taken to mean a prefix or group of prefixes
 which connects to more than one service provider (i.e. more than
 one AS with its own routing policy). It does not mean a network
 multi-homed running an IGP for the purposes of resilience.

 An AS is required; the site's prefixes should be part of a
 single AS, distinct from the ASes of its service providers.
 This allows the customer the ability to have a different repre-
 sentation of policy and preference among the different service
 providers.

 This is ALMOST THE ONLY case where a network operator should
 create its own AS number. In this case, the site should ensure
 that it has the necessary facilities to run appropriate routing
 protocols, such as BGP4.

2015-02-25 Thread Skeeve Stevens
David,

I agree very much with the operational perspective (obviously), but since
when in this day and age of infrastructure that size still matters?

Having to change your infrastructure (of any size), potentially with
outages and so on, is not acceptable if you are able to design around it
from day one.

I see it enough that a member should be able to proactively design their
connectivity (should they want to - no one is being forced here) to have
the potential for multi-homing.

The silly thing with the multi-homing barrier as Guangliang confirmed, you
could multi-home for 1 day and meet the criteria and then disconnect and
then you are still allowed to continue using it.  So why have the
restriction there in the first place?

Surely if someone thinks having an ASN is important in their design, they
should be allowed to have one.

 Dean


 From a policy perspective there is no barrier to entry.

 However, from an operational perspective, I see it a little differently;
 having deployed my network using a private ASN, I then need to migrate to a
 new unique registry assigned ASN.  Which you are saying I can't have until
 I've grown to the point were I need to multi-home or connect to an IX.  If
 I'm a small network, this may not be a big hardship.  But if you connect to
 a single provider in multiple cities you could build a fairly extensive
 network that would not qualify for a registry assigned ASN until you got a
 second provider or connected to an IX, at which point the transition to the
 new ASN could be rather complicated.

 I'm not sure that justifies obliterating the current policy, but there is
 at least an operational barrier to entry in some situations.  I think maybe
 a compromise would be to allow a network of a certain size to obtain an ASN
 regardless of having a unique routing policy, being multi-homed, or
 connected to an IX.

 A network of 1 or 2 routers probably doesn't justify an ASN unless it is
 multi-homed or connected to an IX.  A network of 100 routers probably
 justifies an ASN regardless.  Then the question becomes, where to draw the
 line.

Sorry Dean, I don't agree with you.

You guys are trying to tell people how to run their networks, and that they
aren't allowed to pre-emptively design their connectivity to allow for
changing to multi-homing, or away from it, without going through a change
in network configuration.

That might be easy for you, but that is simply your opinion on how things
should be done... not a reason why others shouldn't be allowed to do it the
way they want to.

If a member has a portable range, they should be entitled to - with no
restrictions - a ASN number to be able to BE as portable as they want to.

 If you want to make a change and move from a single peer to more than one

 You can even get them in advance of a planned network change as seen in

Dean,

I'm not debating the time it takes to get an ASN allocated... I'm talking
about everything else around it... and changing your setup when you
shouldn't even have to... again, you're telling people how to run their
networks.

I'm simply saying that leave the running of the networks to them... let
them decide when, if they multi-home, if they choose to de-multi-home, etc.

We all know we can lie our way around this... but people shouldn't have
to... and if that is the only reason, then it is still a valid one.

A rule that isn't enforced, or has any repercussions for going around,
shouldn't even be there in the first place.  If the only reason it remains
is to annoy some small number of ethical people, it should be remediated.

 Thanks for that Guangliang.  Thats really helped to clarify the position
 here.

 Another question.
 Whats the normal time lag between a member applying for an ASN
 (assuming that all the information is present and correct) and it
 being allocated?

 1 day?
 1 week?
 1 month?

 I'm trying to gauge if it really takes longer to apply for an ASN than
 it does to arrange and configure a BGP peering session.

 Thanks

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

2015-02-24 Thread Skeeve Stevens
To me, relaxing these rules is less about lying - although is easy, but it
is to do with flexibility.

I understand the routing policy wont be different that an upstream without
being multi-homed, but it does curtail the convenience of being able to add
these things easily.

Lets say I was a company with a /23 and upstream into Telstra Only.  If I
had my own ASN and was announcing to Telstra, then at any time I could add
another ISP, IXP, direct peering without having to go apply for an ASN,
reconfigure my network to bring the announcement in-house, etc.

I also might want to maintain a single provider, but be able to migrate
easily to another provider without having to rely on the providers to do
the right thing while changing announcements between them.

I think this policy has VERY valid applications for many smaller entities
to be able to have an ASN without having to be multi-homed either
initially, or maintain that multi-homing.

As Randy used to say - Why do you have the right to tell me how to manage
my network?  If I want to be multi-homed, or change my mind and not be, it
is none of your damn business.

I think this policy change reflects the changing way for businesses to get
online since APNIC has run out of IP's, and are often charging significant
amounts of money - so people are going to APNIC directly - which they are
entitled to do.  And being flexible and being able to change their
circumstances is a more common thing nowadays.

If you want, suggest charging for ASN's... but don't tell networks how they
should be connected at any time.

Btw... I am happy for this to apply ONLY to ASN4 and not ASN2.

 All,

 I¹m having an offline discussion with Aftab, basically the issue he¹s
 trying to address is that new ISPs in small countries/cities may not meet
 the day 1 requirements for an ASN, but however should be eligible since
 they will require an ASN to peer/multihome at some point in the future
 (which I do agree)

 Currently they all have to commit fraud² in order to get an ASN, and I
 guess some religion takes that more seriously than others.

 Would we the proposal be acceptable if we reworded the proposal to say
 something on the lines of

 ³Eligible LIRs with APNIC Assigned Portable addresses are also eligible
 for as ASN²?

 This would cover the use case without opening the floodgates.

 Thoughts?

 1. Problem statement
 

  The current ASN assignment policy dictates two eligibility
 criteria
  and both should be fulfilled in order to get an ASN. The policy
  seems to imply that both requirements i.e. multi-homing and
 clearly
  defined single routing policy must be met simultaneously, this
 has
  created much confusion in interpreting the policy.

  As a result organizations have either provided incorrect
 information
  to get the ASN or barred themselves from applying.


 2. Objective of policy change
 -

  In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing
 to
  modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN

Owen/Dean,

At no point did I say that Randy Bush had not made contributions, nor does
not continue to do so in other ways.

I did however say that he was a negative person and had a sour demeanour
and had an arrogance towards the community.  This doesn't mean he hasn't
contributed - he just does it in a very unpleasant way.

And anyone who thinks the mechanism in which Randy engages this community
is acceptable, clearly has no respect for the community or those who give
their time to it.  Supporting an abusive, sarcastic and disrespectful means
of engagement is saying it is acceptable, and it is not. Ever.

 In the past (rapidly becoming the distant past), Randy provided a lot of
 service to this and several other internet communities. He was a talented
 engineer and helped to solve many problems. There was a time when his
 commitment to the community matched his arrogance, pessimism, and

 I was never Randy's greatest fan and he was certainly never mine. However,

 I've decided to stand down as chair of the APNIC Policy SIG. I'm doing
 this for a number of reasons which I'll go into in this mail. I was not
 able to attend APNIC38 as I am currently in the UK but to be honest even if
 I'd been in New Zealand I'm not sure that I would have made the trip to
 Brisbane.

 Several meetings ago Randy Bush put a proposal in front of the Policy SIG
 suggesting that the time had come to abandon the making of policy in the
 current form. I chaired the session that discussed this matter. We had a
 session which ended in confusion and acrimony and the debate ended at that
 point.

 I will say that while Randy and I disagreed over the mechanism of how to
 disband/radically change the current process, I am in full support of the
 core idea proposed in prop-103. I believe the current process is failing
 the community and it should be wound up and replaced with some other
 mechanism.

 At APNIC38, my colleague Masato Yamanashi was returned unopposed as
 co-chair and I am confident that he will handle the role of Chair until the
 meeting in Fukuoka next February where the community can decide if they
 want to continue with the current mechanism or not. My resignation now will
 give plenty of time for any debate on this.

 I believe that we are now at the stage where we are having a face to face
 meeting of the Policy SIG mainly to validate the legitimacy of having a
 meeting of APNIC every six months. There's little of substance that
 couldn't be discussed on line and there are very few people taking part in
 debate on address policy because there is really very little to discuss.

 I believe that APNIC's job is and should continue to be a registry with a
 lightweight structure. I believe APNIC has changed into a quasi political
 body that spends vast amounts of time and money travelling to Internet
 Governance meetings where they meet other similar entities and they all
 tell each other what a fabulous job they're doing of governing the
 Internet.

 You may agree with them doing that - that's fine. I don't and I think it's
 time for me to step aside and let them get on with it. You could say I
 should stay and help to try to fix things but I simply don't have the time
 or enthusiasm.

 I can do no better that quote from a paper from Milton Mueller:
 Stewardship and the Management of Internet Protocol Addresses (
 www.internetgovernance.org/pdf/CyberDialogue2012_Mueller.pdf). I don't
 agree with everything Mueller says but this encapsulates the problem very
 well:

 But here we face the exact same problem as before: all reforms in IP

Elvis,

Owens position has been quite simply explained.

He does NOT oppose the increase in the size of the allocation just just
wants it done more cleanly.

Deans argument is that this will potentially waste additional space.

I see, and actually agree with both positions...   I like to conserve
address space, but Owens point is very valid... even if 1 million
organisations took a /28, it would still make minimal impact on the address
space over a significant period.

But, planning for the future is something we should keep in our mind...
but, not at the detriment of todays operations.

His point of the number of name servers for reverse delegation for a /29
being 8 and a /28 being 1 is quite a compelling reason to increase the
default 'larger' allocation to /28.

So... balancing the two.. I support increasing the standard large
allocation to a /28.

 Yes, I still feel it misses my point completely.

 I have no problem with expanding the existing reservations which are
 bounded at /29 to /29.

 I don’t want to see us move the default allocation in the sparse
 allocation world to larger than /32. Larger than /32 should require
 additional justification for those blocks.

 Further, I don’t want to see us creating a default at a non-nibble
 boundary. For organizations that show need for larger than a /32, I would
 support a default of /28, but will continue to oppose a default expansion
 to /29.

Ok, thinking about this some more, I am still conflicted.

There are two schools here... simplicity and conservation.

I think worrying about conservation is important.  But are we trying to
converse needlessly?

If we think we will be using v6 in 20 years, I think we are kidding
ourselves.  With the IoE/IoT, the consumption of address space is going to
accelerate in a huge way.  If we're not thinking about what is after IPv6,
then we're doing ourselves a disservice anyway. But that is the future, and
extremely difficult to predict in this area.

I think simplicity is better in this case... except if it is not really
simple.  If we have to alter a significant amount of policy to make it
simpler, then it isn't really simple.

The question is, how critical is this at the moment?  I'd like to see thing
simpler, but I'd like to know how complex it would be to implement it -
correctly.

2014-03-03 Thread Skeeve Stevens
Masato,

Can it be explained how this occurred.  Did something change between the
two?

I thought it was practice that the AMM essentially confirmed the
proceedings on the Policy SIG - to avoid these kinds of events, especially
at APRICOT meetings where support/non-support may not be able to make both
events.

I find it extraordinarily a waste of time if all the effort of the Policy
SIG is undone on an individual policy basis.  The AMM should be confirming
the whole Policy SIG event, not individual policies..   or you might as
well not call for consensus during Policy SIG and just save time and do it
once at the AMM, or the other way around.

I've seen this happen a number of times at combined Apricot events with a
lot of other parties present.  One might say that it would be wiser to
propose policies only at the mid-year events.

 Therefore, this proposal is being returned to the authors and the Policy

 Proposal details
 

 The objective of this proposal is to permit the use 1.2.3.0/24 as

 deployment of DNS resolvers.

   Infrastructure
 


 Proposers:   Dean Pemberton, d...@internetnz.net.nz
  Geoff Huston, g...@apnic.net


 1. Problem statement
 

Network 1 (1.0.0.0/8) was allocated to APNIC by the IANA on 19
January 2010. In line with standard practice APNIC's Resource Quality
Assurance activities determined that 95% of the address space would
be suitable for delegation as it was found to be relatively free of
unwanted traffic [1].

Testing, conducted by APNIC RD found that certain blocks within
Network 1 attract significant amounts of unwanted traffic, primarily
due to its unauthorised use as private address space [2].

Analysis revealed that, prior to any delegations being made from the
block, 1.0.0.0/8 attracted an average of 140Mbps - 160Mbps of
unsolicited incoming traffic as a continuous sustained traffic level,
with peak bursts of over 800Mbps.

The analysis highlighted individual addresses such as 1.2.3.4 with
its covering /24 (identified as 1.2.3.0/24) remain in APNIC
quarantine and it is believed they will not be suitable for normal
address distribution.

The proposal proposes the use of 1.2.3.0/24 in a context of locally
scoped infrastructure support for DNS resolvers.

 2. Objective of policy change
 -

As the addresses attract extremely high levels of unsolicited
incoming traffic, the block has been withheld from allocation and
periodically checked to determine if the incoming traffic profile has
altered. None has been observed to date. After four years, it now
seems unlikely there will ever be any change in the incoming traffic
profile.

The objective of this proposal is to permit the use 1.2.3.0/24 as a
anycast addresses to be used in context of scoped routing to support
the deployment of DNS resolvers. It is noted that as long as
providers who use this address use basic route scope limitations, the
side effect of large volumes of unsolicited incoming traffic would
be, to some extent mitigated down to manageable levels.


 3. Situation in other regions
 -

Improper use of this address space is a globally common issue.
However the block is delegated only APNIC and so therefor, no other
RIR has equivalent policy to deal with the situation.


 4. Proposed policy solution
 ---

This proposal recommends that the APNIC community agree to assign
1.2.3.0/24 to the APNIC Secretariat for use in the context of locally
scoped infrastructure support for DNS resolvers.

 Hi David,


 Also, correct me if I'm mistaken, but by raising the default from /32 to
 /29, you are raising the barrier to entry for small LIRs.  I believe
 APNIC's fees are based on your allocation size.  Yes, its a logarithmic
 function, but it still raises the fees.  So a small LIR that doesn't
 currently need a /29 may prefer to stick with a /32 for the lower fees.
  This policy seems to force all new allocations to /29, regardless of what
 an LIR needs or wants.  Minimally, this change should be optional, allowing
 an LIR request range a larger range, but not requiring a larger range.


 IMO The whole idea of this prop is to remove the justification barrier to
 get more address space during initial allocation or at subsequent
 allocation level. No change in minimum initial allocation (/32 for LIRs and
 /48 for end-sites) has been proposed (or atleast I don't see it). So any
 who doesn't agree with the positives of /29 which came out during the
 discussion here doesn't have to pay higher amount.. APNIC fee for /32 is
 AUD 1,994 and for /29 it is AUD 4,381 (provided that you don't have more
 then /22 IPv4)

 *Proposed Changes (as requested in prop):*

 *Organizations that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to
 receive an initial allocation of /32. For allocations up to /29 no
 additional documentation is necessary. *

 *And for existing members*

 *LIRs that hold one or more IPv6 allocations are able to request extension
 of each of these allocations up to a /29 without meeting the utilization
 rate for subsequent allocation and providing further documentation.*
