ARIN Enters Phase Four of the IPv4 Countdown Plan

2014-04-23 Thread John Curran
NANOGers -

   ARIN's regional IPv4 free pool has reached the equivalent of one /8 of IPv4 
space,
   which means we are approaching runout of IPv4 space availability in this 
region.
   (See attached announcement from ARIN regarding occurrence of this event)

   There are some changes to processing of requests as we enter this final 
phase,
   and obviously service providers ought to be thinking about IPv6-based 
services,
   if not already in deployment.

ARIN is down to its final /8 of available space in its inventory and has moved 
into Phase Four of its IPv4 Countdown Plan. All IPv4 requests are now subject 
to Countdown Plan processes, so please review the following details carefully.

All IPv4 requests will be processed on a First in, First out basis, and all 
requests of any size will be subject to team review, and requests for /15 or 
larger will require department director approval. ARIN's resource analysts will 
respond to tickets as they appear chronologically in the queue. Each ticket 
response is treated as an individual transaction, so the completion time of a 
single request may vary based on customer response times and the number of 
requests waiting in the queue. Because each correspondence will be processed in 
sequence, it is possible that response times may exceed our usual two-day 
turnaround.

The hold period for returned, reclaimed, and revoked blocks is now reduced to 
60 days. All returned, revoked, and reclaimed IPv4 address space will go back 
into the available pool when the 60 day period has expired. Staff will continue 
to check routing/filtering on space being reissued and will notify recipients 
if there are issues.

When a request is approved, the recipient will have 60 days to complete payment 
and/or an RSA. On the 61st day, the address space will be released back to the 
available pool if payment and RSA are not completed.

We encourage you to visit the IPv4 Countdown Phase Four page at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/request/countdown_phase4.html

ARIN may experience situations where it can no longer fulfill qualifying IPv4 
requests due to a lack of inventory of the desired block size. At that time, 
the requester may opt to accept the largest available block size or they may 
ask to be placed on the Waiting List for Unmet Requests. Full details about 
this process are available at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/request/waiting_list.html

Please contact hostmas...@arin.net or our Help Desk +1.703.227.0660 if you have 
questions about these procedural changes.

Yes, you could have shown up to discuss, present arguments , vote 
there many. meetings on this as well as ARIN email discussion threads. All
the hot topics are always presented at nanog/arin meets in an effort to
create community awareness and gather community interest. I attended ARIN
only meetings where the rooms were full - this was a hot topic of ARIN
meetings many times. Your point was brought up many times - that position
was represented.

The process to get a big block is cumbersome...thus verizon went out to
the open market to buy space. A notable verizon person attend an arin
meeting and openly said so. And that was during late phase 2 or beginning
of 3. So it's not that easy for a big company to get a big block.

Bob -

Very well said - also, while it is true that IPv4 address allocation
and assignment policy may become less relevant over time, it is not 
at all clear that will be the case with other policies, such as the 
IPv4 transfer policy.

In any case, if you have views on how address space in the region 
should be administered, please participate in one or more of:

  - The ARIN ppml mailing list
  - The ARIN Public Policy Meeting (in-person or remote)
  - The ARIN Public Policy Consultations held at each NANOG

We have nearly a dozen proposed policy changes being considered

 gotten their own from IEEE.  OUIs are not free but the cost is quite
 reasonable (and was even more reasonable years ago when this
 unfortunate decision was made).

we're an open source project, running on a rather small budget almost

 The next two octets for IPv4 VRRP are 00:01.  Highly coincidentally,
 the CARP folks *also* decided to use 00:01 after they got upset at the
 IETF for dissing their slide deck.

you're interpreting way too much in here.
carp has been based on an earlier, never published vrrp implementatoin
we had before realizing the patent problem.
i don't remember any discussion about the OUI or, more general, the mac
address choice. it's 10 years ago now, so i don't remember every
single detail, changing the mac addr has pbly just been forgotten.
not at least using sth but 00:01 for the 4th and 5th octet was likely
a mistake. changing that now - wether just 4th/5th octet or to an
entirely different, donated OUI - wouldn't be easy, unfortunately.
acadmic discussion as long as we don't have a suitable OUI anyway.

 If either of these decisions had not been made, we would not be having
 this discussion today.

we weren't really given a choice.
as I said before, I'd much prefer we had just been given a multicast
address etc. we tried. the IEEE/IETF/IANA processes have been an utter
failure in our (limited) experience, not just in this case. might be
different if you're $big_vendor with deep pockets, but that doesn't
help either. 

fortunately this obviously isn't a big problem in practice, based on
the fact that we don't get any complaints/reports in that direction.
still would be way micer if that situation had been created in the
first place, but as said - we weren't given that choice.

 Nothing personal Henning (and I like what you did with OpenBGPd and
 OpenNTPd) but you'd gain a lot of respect in my eyes, as well as a

 decision was a huge mistake.

huge? nah.
mistake? probably.

 If your lawyers have advised you not to
 apologize because of liability concerns (despite that no warranty

but then, that's what the US (dunno wether that is your actual
background, sounds that way tho) is when it comes to patents and

IPv4 Address transfer after company acquisition

I have a customer who previously didn't have any IPv4 address space.  They
recently acquired a competitor that has a /24.

Are there any special ARIN rules for this type of transfer?

Any pointers, or 'gotchas'?

I'm pretty sure ARIN has the transfer process documented on their website. 
From what I remember, ARIN will need to see some documentation of the 
acquisition, including a letter of agency/authorization from the company 
that was acquired, on the original company's letterhead.

 you're interpreting way too much in here.
 carp has been based on an earlier, never published vrrp implementatoin
 we had before realizing the patent problem.
 i don't remember any discussion about the OUI or, more general, the mac
 address choice. it's 10 years ago now, so i don't remember every
 single detail, changing the mac addr has pbly just been forgotten.
 not at least using sth but 00:01 for the 4th and 5th octet was likely
 a mistake. changing that now - wether just 4th/5th octet or to an
 entirely different, donated OUI - wouldn't be easy, unfortunately.
 acadmic discussion as long as we don't have a suitable OUI anyway.

 If either of these decisions had not been made, we would not be having
 this discussion today.

 we weren't really given a choice.
 as I said before, I'd much prefer we had just been given a multicast
 address etc. we tried. the IEEE/IETF/IANA processes have been an utter
 failure in our (limited) experience, not just in this case. might be
 different if you're $big_vendor with deep pockets, but that doesn't
 help either.

That seems like a very scatter-shot claim. The process for applying
for MAC addresses under the IANA OUI was regularized in RFC 5342,
since updated to and replaced by RFC 7042. See
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7042.txt. Perhaps you were trying
before RFC 5342?

To get an assignment under IANA it must bet or standard use that is
either an IETF standard or related to an IETF standard but it doesn't
say what the relationship has to be. It must also be documented in an
Internet Draft or an RFC but there is no technical screening for
posting an Internet Draft so that doesn't seem like a barrier. It is
subject to expert review.

Thanks,
Donald
