As Guangliang wrote in his mail, only /29 is reserved for

policy intend to utilize those address, which will be kept unused.


I'm confused, you seem to be saying you are suggesting /29 only because 
of the previous reservation in the older allocation process?  I would 
recommend figuring out what the right thing is based on the current 
allocation processes and then figure out any adjustments needed to 
account for allocations made in the older processes.  Rather than 
encoding an artifact of the older allocation processes into current 
policy, which is what this seems to be doing.


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.


Thanks.

Well our IPv4 policies are explicitly designed to not provide all the IPv4

maybe not forever, but there is a goal of 5 to 10 years or more for an initial 
allocation.

 Lets see where the community thinks this should go.  
 It still sounds like unlimited ASNs for anyone who thinks they might like to 
 have them.
 Great business for anyone clipping the ticket on the transaction.

Now that we that have 4 billion ASNs, maybe we should reexamine our policy 
goals for ASNs, at least compared to when we only had 65 thousand ASNs.  

If we are willing to give an organization a routing slot with IPv4 or IPv6 PA 
or PI address block, why wouldn't we be willing to give them a ASN too?  I 
would want them to provide additional justification why they need a second ASN, 
but the mere fact we gave then a PA or PI address block is probably sufficient 
justification for their first ASN.  

The reverse is also probably also true, if we are NOT willing to give them a 
routing slot, we probably should NOT be willing to give them an ASN either, at 
least without additional justification like multi-homing.

What you are suggesting *IS* regardless of need, and thats what I

If you are not required to demonstrate need to get something, then it
is allocated regardless of need.
I realise this might seem semantic, but policy is all about semantics.


On this we agree.


This 'anticipation of future need' stuff is at best ethereal and at
worst a fallacy.  Lets not forget that there is an almost zero barrier
to entry with regard to ASN allocation should the member require one.
I just don't subscribe to this I may one day require one so give it
to me now


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.



It's the same as saying I don't require an IPv6 allocation today, but
I anticipate that at some point I'll need a /10.  Just give it all to
me now so that I don't have to make difficult design decisions later.

If everyone gets one then I can live with that.  What I can't live
with is opening up a can of worms with a I might one day need
something so please allocate it now.  It's a dangerous slippery
slope.Today ASNs, Tomorrow IPv4, next day IPv6.


It's not that I only might need it, in my opinion it is fundamentally 
necessary to fulfill the portability of the PI assignment.  No need to 
move the assignment within the routing system, no need for portability 
and no need for an ASN.  But, if you make a PI assignment without 
allowing me an ASN you've limited its portability and the useability for 
its intended purpose.  Making a PI assignment implies to me, it can be 
picked up and moved within the routing system, assigning an ASN is 
needed to facilitate that movement.


However, looked at through the lens of multi-homing, portability itself 
is only a future need.  You have to look beyond multi-homing, not 
abandon the idea of need, to understand what I'm trying say.


But, I probably only dug the whole deeper. :) So, I'll stop now.

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.

Currently, when the account is closed nothing actively makes the resources
unusable, accept for if you were also changing providers during this
timeframe, then when the new provider checks the resources they will be
unregistered. But most providers don't recheck the registration of
resources very often, if ever, other than at the time of setup of service.

With this proposal at some point, the resource will effectively become
unusable with nonpayment, when the AS0 ROA is created, and any ROAs are
removed, I'm fine with this, but it should be called out as a consequence
of the proposal, so no one can say they didn't realize that is a
consequence of the proposal.

This proposal changes the consequences for nonpayment, that should be made
clear in the proposal one way or another.

Also as Owen noted the RIRs frequently have a hold period after the account
is closed, resource are usually held for some period after account closure
and before they are reissued to a new user.

They were just suggestions, but I will note that you only discussed the
timing for nonpayment, resources can be returned voluntarily or they can be
revoked for cause, this is rare but it does happen and the timing
assoicated with these instances should be understood as well.

Also, I was suggesting the AS0 ROAs should not created immediately on
account closure but some period of time after that,

I think you are arguing about semantics;

I believe APNIC gives NIRs significant latitude to create local policies
and procedures appropriate to their local economies, culture, or laws;

Nevertheless, the "APNIC and NIR Member Relationship Agreement" clearly
states, "Recitals; c. ... National Internet Registries provide procedures
and services that take account of local cultural differences, while
operating in a way that remains consistent with regional and global
resource management policies." Further, "2.3 Termination, a. APNIC may
terminate this agreement in any of the following circumstances: 4. The NIR
Member commits a substantial breach of this agreement or any APNIC Address
Management Policy;"

https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/corporate-documents/documents/membership/nir-membership-agreement/
https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/operational-policies-nirs/

"APNIC and NIR Member Relationship Agreement" is a cooperative agreement or
contract. It, therefore, doesn't override local or international laws, and
the only real enforcement action is the termination of the agreement.
Furthermore, I imagine APNIC would not pursue termination of the agreement
except under the most egregious violation and only after both informal and
formal opportunities to correct the situation.

Can we please get back to the policy discussion at hand?

Thanks.

[sig-policy] Re: New proposal: prop-158-v001: IPv6 auto-allocation for each IPv4 request

2024-01-24 Thread David Farmer via SIG-policy
I do not believe this policy will achieve its stated objective: to
accelerate IPv6 implementation.

Automatically delegating IPv6 address space to new and initial IPv4
requests, may increase the number of IPv6 delegations. But, the bar to get
an IPv6 delegation is already pretty low, and it is not the limiting factor
for IPv6 implementation in a network. The limiting factor is the actual
work of implementing IPv6 in a network.

I suspect many, if not most, networks requesting IPv4 will accept the IPv6
delegation and simply fail to proceed with its IPv6 implementation in
their network. IPv4 policy has not been and will not be an effective lever
to increase IPv6 implementations.

Thanks.
