Re: [address-policy-wg] 2015-05 Discussion Period extended until 13 May 2016 (Last /8 Allocation Criteria Revision)
Goodmoring Remco, I read that you don't want to comment more about 2015-05. I'll respect you and I won't wait for an answer and we can leave everything for a quick chat in Copenhagen but I have to leave my comment on your analisys. In your example you suppose that every LIR under a /20 will request an additional /22 (every 18 months after a /22 allocation has been reiceved) and standing on you will litterally "burn" out the space in 3 years. Let's see what has been done in the past: In september 2012 there were about 9000 LIRs members and at the end of 2013 the number grows up to 1 LIRs. So in your view "last /8" would have distributed about 1 /22 on 15130 availables from 185/8 at the end of 2013, leaving about 5000 /22 in the pool. In this vision you couldn't expect to leave to new entrants no more than 5 - 6 thousand /22. Please explain how the current policy obtained a "success", luck? Why such policy was accepted and reached its consensum at that time? 2015-05 requires to act for IPv6 Current policy required in the past to obtain an IPv6 allocation and do exacly nothing more Nowadays the allocation policy requires just pay the fee and do nothing. regards Riccardo Il 11/05/2016 21:53, Remco van Mook ha scritto: On 11 May 2016, at 14:52 , Radu-Adrian FEURDEANwrote: On Wed, May 11, 2016, at 09:47, Remco van Mook wrote: Again, you can't have it both ways.

This cuts the lifespan of the pool for new entrants by more than half, no? No, because: - it will not be dedicated to "further allocations" - there are some extra conditions that makes a lot of people not to qualify - with the time passing, when 185/8 is over, the "first /22 from last /8" will start being allocated from the same space as "further allocations". OK, have it your way. Let's look at some numbers: Available in 185/8 right now: ~ 6,950 /22s (1) Available outside 185/8 right now: ~ 8,180 /22s (1) New LIRs since January 2013: ~4,600 (2,3) Budgeted membership growth for the rest of 2016: ~ 1,500 (2) Before 2016 is out, around 4,000 existing LIRs will have qualified under the proposed policy to get another allocation. Half the 'outside 185' pool will be gone by the end of this year. Based on an extrapolated growth rate of new members, the '185' pool should last until early 2019. At that point, another 4,000 existing LIRs will have qualified under the proposed policy for another /22 from the 'outside' pool. This pool is now empty as well. So, under the new policy, it will be game over for all involved somewhere in early 2019. The space you argue would be available for new entrants outside the '185 pool' was gone by the time it was needed. Now let's look at the current policy. As of today, a total of about 15,130 /22s are available. Based on an extrapolated growth rate of new members, the available pool should last until 2025 (although the uncertainties are quite high if you extrapolate that far out) So on one hand, we have a proposal that will be game over for all in about 3 years, or we keep the existing policy that shares the pain for existing and future LIRs well into the next decade. At which point, IPv6 will have saved the world from global heating, or so they tell me. The proposed policy has an impact (even the policy proposal itself says so (4)), and one that I strongly object to.

Some people tell me that "last /8" in RIPE-land is supposed to serve the same purpose, even if it's not written. Plus, you *CAN* get more than 4 x /24 in ARIN-land (to date 2 x /24, but the allocation rate is really low). > People violating the ARIN rules shouldn't be used as an excuse for us to > change > the rules in RIPE. > > https://www.arin.net/announcements/2014/20140130.html > > ARIN does not count them as part of the available ranges for > allocation, so we should not assume they are part of the normal pool. It's not the violation of ARIN rules, it's the fact that ARIN is *NOT* v4-exhausted. They still have available space, even if they call it otherwise. And it's used (or at least supposed) to reward people with real IPv6 deployment.

At the same time, 4472 LIRs do not have any IPv4 space. Is it possible to know how many of them never requested it, 3.5 years after (or more likely 2 years after all the restrictions have been lifted) ? Do you really think all eligible LIRs will make the request within 6 months ? > Based on an extrapolated growth rate of new members, the '185' pool > should last until early 2019. I see an average 12 months allocation rate of over 270 allocations/month (and rising). That leaves us (185/8 and recovered) 4 years 8 months (if allocation rate remains steady - but it is increasing). For 185/8 only, that is (less than) 25.75 months, which is more like mid-2018. Continuing outside of 185/8, at the same rate, we get around dec-2020/maybe jan-2021. But that's missing the following: - allocations/month are on the rise, new members are on the rise - not much effect from 2015-01 - no visible effect from suspending "multiple LIRs per member" (lower maximum, but steady high level). - things can change either way, rendering any estimation . very estimative > At that point, another 4,000 existing LIRs will have qualified under the > proposed policy for another /22 from the 'outside' pool.

This is the problem that is supposed to be fixed : the pain. And if at the same time we can also do something effective for boosting IPv6 deployment, the pain level may be even less when the v4 pool will be really empty. > At which point, IPv6 will have saved the world from global heating, or so > they tell me. So they told me too, I discovered that it's much more complicated. > (if any of the NCC staff wants to verify my numbers, feel free to do so) Please ! Since it's not easy to find the following information: - if a LIR received or not it's "last /22" (cannot distinguish from one that get it and sold it) - if a LIR has performed an "outbound" transfer or not Thanks.

Not a lot. But thanks for the suggestions and for trying to move things forward. First off, I am adamantly opposed to any policy proposal which will speed up depletion of the NCC’s IPv4 pool. Though if someone can come up with a convincing case for wiping it out, I would reconsider. Until then, the current policy is the least worst option IMO and we should keep it. Second, coupling any policy to RIPEness metrics is a very bad idea. Those metrics may change or even go away. [Who decides about that BTW.] They can be easily gamed too. Just do whatever needs to be done with IPv6 to get the extra IPv4 space and then take it down. Repeat. Third, I think it’s unwise to have a firm rule on transfers. Though I understand why you’ve suggested this: it’s meant to stop LIRs selling off these extra addresses. For one thing, there can be valid reasons for transferring space that don’t involve selling IPv4 addresses - a business reorganisation for instance. Next, if an LIR wants extra /22s in order to sell the addresses, they’d still do that irrespective of what the transfer restrictions were in place.
[address-policy-wg] R: making progress with 2015-05
I try to go beyond the 2015-05: When an LIR can claim to have reached 4 (or 5) stars of RIPEness for IPv6 may require an additional /22 (if you do not already have space equivalent to a /20) stating its reasons for the new allocation with a project and proving to have it completed within one year. This new /22 will in no way be transferred before 3-5 years. I tried to remove the term of 18 months: what do you think about?

Not sure if ARIN and it's (IMHO) failed IPv4 policy was the reason for the better IPv6 growth, but any new entrant to the ISP market is paying a hefty fee for it ... because even though the ARIN region may have a higher IPv6 deployment, running and IPv6-only ISP business is out of the question ... so companies have to go out and pay for an IPv4 block in order to be able to do ANY business ... does that seem fair? I reckon the only way to actually create a fair market would be to either take away a percentage of assigned v4 addresses from ALL current owners to redistribute to new entries to the market, or set a date for disabling public v4 routing ... or maybe a third solution: Let all RIRs take on the ARIN policy, do away with all remaining v4 addresses within a couple days due to the incoming flood of requests, that way the price for v4 transfers will skyrocket, making it necessary for existing v4 holders to finally implement v6, hopefully causing the v6 availability to reach a tipping point quickly ... I guess you will agree that neither of those solutions will be implemented in the foreseeable future ... therefore, I agree with sticking to the current v4 policies in an attempt to keep at least a basic set of addresses available for new companies until the time that public v4 has been deemed more or less irrelevant ... (hopefully, I'll live to see the day ...) -garry
