Kind Regards, Masato ------------------------------------------------------------ prop-113-v003: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria ------------------------------------------------------------ Proposer: Aftab Siddiqui [email protected] Skeeve Stevens [email protected] 1. Problem statement -------------------- The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple eligibility criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be eligible to receive IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates that ³an organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multi-home within one month² (section 3.3). The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if there is no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even when there is only one upstream provider available, this has created much confusion in interpreting this policy. As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect or fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or barred themselves from applying. 2. Objective of policy change ----------------------------- In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to modify the text of section 3.3. 3. Situation in other regions ----------------------------- ARIN: There is no multi-homing requirement RIPE: There is no multi-homing requirement. LACNIC: Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect. AFRINIC: There is no multi-homing requirement. 4. Proposed policy solution --------------------------- Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations An organization is eligible if: - it is currently multi-homed, OR - currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24, AND intends to be multi-homed, OR - intends to be multi-homed, AND advertise the prefixes within 6 months Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and 50% within one year. 5. Advantages / Disadvantages ----------------------------- Advantages: Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in Section 3.3. Disadvantages: There is no known disadvantage of this proposal. 6. Impact on resource holders ----------------------------- No impact on existing resource holders.
