Objective of policy change >> ----------------------------- >> >> The objective of this proposal is to allocate 1.0.0.0/24 and >> 1.1.1.0/24 to APNIC Labs, to be used as research prefixes. >> >> 3. Situation in other regions >> ----------------------------- >> >> Other RIRs (notably the RIPE NCC) have used their policy process to >> review self-allocations of number resources to the RIR as a means of >> ensuring transparency of the address allocation process. This >> proposal is consistent with such a practice. >> >> >> 4. Proposed policy solution >> --------------------------- >> >> This proposal recommends that the APNIC community agree to allocate >> 1.0.0.0/24 and 1.1.1.0/24 to APNIC Labs as research prefixes. The >> intent is to use these prefixes as passive traffic collectors in >> order to generate a long term profile of unsolicited traffic in the >> IPv4 internet that is directed to well known addresses to study >> various aspects of traffic profiles and route scope leakages. >> >> An experiment in gathering a profile of unsolicited traffic directed >> at 1.1.1.0/24 was started by APNIC Labs in 2013, in collaboration >> with Google. This experiment was set up as a temporary exercise to >> understand the longer term trend of the traffic profile associated >> with this address.
