Good Morning all, There will be a BoF on the subject of IP address leasing at the APRICOT 2014 meeting on Tuesday, 25th Feb 2014 at 17:30 - 19:00 in the Grand Caymans room on Level 10.
I will be chairing this BoF and I'd like to invite all interested parties to attend. While the concept of IP address leasing is not new, and has been the primary model for ISP sub-delegation to its customers, there is an assumption that some level of operational control is retained by the ISP. There is an expectation that the registry data reflects an operational hierarchy that makes it possible for people to look up 'parent' blocks and use the contact information at that level to resolve operational issues at a lower level network block. This model and assumptions may no longer be valid in the IPv4 exhaustion state we're currently in. Addresses may be leased out with no operational service or control attached to it. How should the registry reflect this reality, to maintain its important role in facilitating operational trouble shooting? Policy-wise, should lessors be allowed to accumulate address space, using leasing demands as 'demonstrated need' in getting more IP addresses transferred to them? Voice your opinion in a healthy debate in this BoF, held to gauge the community's sentiment on these important issues.
