Part of the rational says: "Much of the work that goes into creating Internet Exchange Points today is done in regions of the world where there is no Internet Exchange Point yet. Opening an IXP helps to develop the Internet and Internet community in that region, so the work really is 'good of the Internet'. Starving these regions of an opportunity to build a simple open Internet Exchange Point would be severely damaging to Internet users in regions under-served by IXPs." But a brand new IXP will be able to get a /22 under the existing rules. Surely that's enough? I have a general dislike of "special cases" especially where they don't seem to be necessary. And this seems to be unnecessary. Nigel

There is a question of whether the IXP should just become an LIR to receive an allocation that way, however I neither believe that an IXP should be forced into becoming an LIR or that all IXPs necessarily have an appropriate entity with which to do so, especially when they are in the startup phase. Therefore I support this policy. -- Tom Hodgson tom(a)someaddress.net

Proposal 2011-02 moving to Last Call
by Sander Steffann 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello working group, After a extensive analysis of the discussions on the mailing list about proposal 2011-02 we have come to the conclusion that we have rough consensus on this policy proposal, and we have decided to move this policy proposal to Last Call. We have seen much support for this proposal on the mailing list. On the other hand we have seen concern about accelerated growth of the routing table caused by implementing this policy. Data from other RIRs that have a more liberal IPv6 PI policy have not shown evidence for excessive growth in IPv6 PI assignments. As of today, Sep 23, there are 2420 /48 routes in the global BGP table, compared to 3600 /32 routes and ~1100 routes of other prefix lengths. Based on this data we consider the arguments agains this proposal based on possible routing table growth as addressed. We will ask the RIPE NCC to ask for extensive documentation in the IPv6 PI request form about why IPv6 PI space is requested instead of PA space. The intention of this is to be able to analyze the reasons for organizations to request PI space and to make requesters think twice when requesting PI space. If this policy proposal has consensus at the end of Last Call we will also ask the RIPE NCC to monitor and regularly report on IPv6 PI assignment statistics so we can see if the number of PI requests runs out of bounds. On behalf of the Address Policy WG chairs, Sander Steffann

Re: [address-policy-wg] 2011-05 New Policy Proposal (Safeguarding future IXPs with IPv4 space)
by Remco Van Mook 26 Oct '11

Hi all, As I already indicated when this was last presented at the RIPE meeting, I strongly support a proposal to this end. The one thing I'm missing is the criteria for the size of the assignment - when does an IXP get a /24, /23 or a /22? With 'run out fairly' as accepted policy I don't think the timeframes set there are in any way realistic for Internet exchanges. So, clean as the current proposal is, I'd suggest making it a bit messier and adding very explicit criteria. With some first hand experience in setting up Exchanges, I would suggest the following: - a new IXP gets a /24 - an existing IXP that runs out of its /24 (whether from this /16 or another range) gets a /23 and has to return the old /24 - an existing IXP that runs out of its /23 (whether from this /16 or another range) gets a /22 and has to return the old /23 (Yes, this means renumbering every single time. Yes, it's a pain. Yes, if you run out of a /22 for your peering LAN you're fresh out of luck.) And while we're at it, I would suggest to add to 5.6.4: c. Any address space that is returned by an IXP will be added to the reserve as outlined in 5.6.2.
