RE: [address-policy-wg] Principles for the use of the last IPv4 /8 address space in the RIPE NCC Region
by Kelaidi Christina 05 May '09

05 May '09

Dear Sander Thank you for the e-mail. ETNO is aware of the policy proposals currently discussed in the RIPE community regarding the last /8. From the existing proposals it is clear that only 2009-04 is compliant to these principles.

Thank you for your input. We currently have two policy proposals for the last /8: 2008-06: Use of Final /8 2009-04: IPv4 Allocation and Assignments to Facilitate IPv6 Deployment I think the best way forward would be for you to participate in the discussions related to these policy proposals on this mailing list.

Principles for the use of the last IPv4 /8 address space in the RIPE NCC Region
by Kelaidi Christina 04 May '09

04 May '09

Dear colleagues ETNO has prepared an Expert Contribution on the Principles for the use of the last IPv4 /8 address space in the RIPE NCC region, based on a previous contribution with regard to IPv4 address exhaustion presented in the RIPE address-policy-wg mailing list in May 2008. According to ETNO any policy proposal relevant to the use of the last IPv4 /8 address space should satisfy the principles contained in this contribution in order to permit both a fair and equitable use of the last IPv4 /8 address space and a flexible approach with regard to its management. Introduction ETNO recognises that with the theoretical date of exhaustion of IPv4 public addresses fast approaching, principles ensuring fair and equitable use of the last /8 address space in the RIPE NCC region are required. This contribution presents a number of such principles in order to initiate such discussions that are intended to lead to a RIPE NCC policy. ETNO in a previous contribution with regard to IPv4 address exhaustion identified a number of principles associated with the management of IPv4 public addresses as exhaust approached. These principles form the basis of the principles below as applied to the last /8 address space. In the development of this Expert Contribution, regarding the use of the last IPv4/8, ETNO wants to guarantee that any policy developed is based upon the fair and equitable allocation of address space to all LIR's, irrespective of whether they are new or existing. Principles Demonstrated Need Allocation Allocation of IPv4 addresses from the last IPv4 /8 should be treated the same way for all Registries (LIR), and should be in response to their demonstrated need. Pre-determined Use Assignment from the last IPv4 /8 should only be used to facilitate the deployment of IPv6 Public address resource by the LIR. Size of Address Allocation The size of any allocation from the last IPv4 /8 should be based upon flexibility, recognising that it is an allocation from the last /8, and meeting the needs of the applicant. As a consequence the size of address allocated may require adaptation of the current and existing allocation rules. Predictability of Allocation Relevant policies associated with the allocation from the last IPv4 /8 should be announced well in advance in order to give sufficient time for operators and ISPs through their LIRs to be prepared. Conclusion ETNO supports the development of a RIPE policy detailing how the last IPv4 /8 will be deployed in order to ensure clarity for all stakeholders. ETNO believes that the above principles should be the basis of any RIPE policy related to the last IPv4 /8 and supported by the implementation of appropriate measures and actions.
