PI for Not-DNS Anycast.
by Andy Davidson 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi, Can I get the community's thoughts on this, please .. I think we have a well defined policy on what to do when someone needs some PI in order to run an Anycasted DNS service. We set out a family of requirements based on geographic diversity, for instance, that clearly states what should be in place when a request for PI for DNS use is made. What if a company wants to try to deploy an anycasted production service for something which is not DNS ? It could be a proprietary protocol, or something standard like http. Is the community view that they should just deaggregate some of their PA - which I don't like the sound of - or apply for PI in the normal way, and pretend anycast isn't necessarily involved ? Many thanks Andy

2007-06: New Policy Proposal (Global Policy for the Allocationof the Remaining IPv4 Address Space)
by Alex Le Heux 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

PDP Number: 2007-06 Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space Dear Colleagues, A new RIPE Policy has been proposed and is now available for discussion. This policy describes the process for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 space from IANA to the RIRs. When a minimum amount of available space is reached, an identical number of IPv4 allocation units (/8s) will be allocated from IANA to each RIR, replacing the current IPv4 allocation policy. You can find the full proposal at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2007-06.html We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net> before 27 August 2007. Best regards, Alex Le Heux RIPE NCC Policy Implementation Co-ordinator

New IPv4 blocks allocated to RIPE NCC
by Alex Le Heux 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv4 address ranges 94/8 and 95/8 from the IANA in July 2007. We will begin allocating from these ranges in the near future. The minimum allocation size from these two /8s has been set at /21. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html Please also note that two "pilot" prefixes are being announced from each /8. These prefixes are: 95.192.0.0/16 95.255.248.0/21 They all originate in AS12654. The following pingable addresses are available in these blocks: 95.192.0.1 95.255.248.1 More information on this "pilot" activity is available in the document "De-Bogonising New Address Blocks", which can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-351.html Best regards, Alex Le Heux RIPE NCC Policy Implementation Co-ordinator
