Hi, Guangliang, thank you so much for explaining current situation. I was just drafting my reply mail:-)
David, what Guangliang mentioned is almost same as my drafted reply mail, with smarter and clearer explanation. Yours Sincerely, -- Tomohiro Fujisaki From: Guangliang Pan <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [sig-policy] prop-111-v001: Request-based expansion of IPv6 default allocation size Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 05:20:30 +0000 | Hi David, | | I think that statement refers to early IPv6 allocations from the old /23 blocks. Before APNIC received the /12 allocation from IANA, we use sequence allocation method to make /32 allocations and reserved up to /29 for every allocation. That was the practice for all RIRs in the early stage. I believe this policy proposal is trying to address those reserved space. | | APNIC has been using spare allocation method to make IPv6 allocations from the /12 block since we received it from IANA. We don't do reservation in sparse allocation, but in fact every allocation has a room to grow. Current /32 allocations from the /12 block can grow up to /24 at this stage. | | Best regards, | | Guangliang | ========= | | | From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Conrad | Sent: Monday, 27 January 2014 11:30 AM | To: SIG policy | Subject: Re: [sig-policy] prop-111-v001: Request-based expansion of IPv6 default allocation size | | However, the space up to /29 is reserved by APNIC secretariat for each /32 allocation. | | I thought the spare allocation method the RIRs agreed to use for IPv6 in order to get the /12 from the IANA precluded the need to reserve any address space. | | Does APNIC still reserve address space? | | Thanks, | -drc | | * sig-policy: APNIC SIG on resource management policy * _______________________________________________ sig-policy mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/sig-policy
