I do have a question for clarification: andy, you speak about "peering LAN" in singular. How is the policy to be interpreted by the IPRAs for IXPs requesting space for different-size MTU peering LANs? A luxury we can't afford after runout, or? Best, Martin

I support this proposal. One question: Is it the same /16 in 5.6.2 as in 5.6.3? Or does that mean that two /16 will be held back? regards. danrl -- Dan Luedtke http://www.danrl.de

Interesting to see a v6-in-v4 access protocol triggering a significant change in allocation policy. As 6rd gobbles up 32 bits for the v4 address at the consumers v6 assignment, there is an alternative in RFC 5572 (TSP) that presents v6-in-v4 access on CPEs without such a need. And TSP can be implemented as a software client so LIRs do not need to change the CPEs to roll out IPv6 to end users. -Ahmed ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:28:47 +0200 From: "Jan Zorz @ go6.si" <jan(a)go6.si> Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] 2011-04 New Policy Proposal (Extension of the Minimum Size for IPv6 Initial Allocation) To: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net Message-ID: <4EA5BC6F.90005(a)go6.si> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On 10/24/11 7:29 PM, Randy Bush wrote: > why are we screwing around? let's go straight to a /16 or at least a > /20. it would not be fair to legacy v6 allocations :) can only expand to /29 without renumbering :S cheers, Jan

All, I support the thought that LIRs should be able to get up to a /29 as an initial allocation with no documentation required. However, that doesn't mean I support the policy proposal in its current form. Here's why. In the current policy text, it's very clear cut that unless you provide documentation (which means you've thought about how to deploy), you get a /32. I would not want a situation where people get a /29 without thinking, making a mess of it and then come back. So you could get a /29 if you asked for it specifically, otherwise you get a /32. So I would propose the following: Organisations that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to receive an initial allocation of /32. For initial allocations up to /29 no additional documentation is necessary. Organisations may qualify for an initial allocation greater than /29 by submitting documentation that reasonably justifies the request. If so, the allocation size will be based on the number of existing users and the extent of the organisation's infrastructure. --snip-- And, of course, using up your /29 in one go means no additional adjacent reserved address space on the RIPE NCC books, but that's an implementation issue :) Best Remco van Mook Director of Interconnection, Europe remco.vanmook(a)eu.equinix.com +31 61 135 6365 MOB EQUINIX 51-53 Great Marlborough Street London, W1F 7JT, United Kingdom On 21-10-11 12:44, "Emilio Madaio" <emadaio(a)ripe.net> wrote: > >Dear Colleagues, > >A new RIPE Policy Proposal has been made and is now available for >discussion. > >You can find the full proposal at: > > www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2011-04 > >We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to ><address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net> before 18 November 2011. > >Regards > >Emilio Madaio >Policy Development Officer >RIPE NCC > > This email is from Equinix Europe Limited or one of its associated/subsidiary companies.

Short: I support it. Long: well, i'm one of those guys who prefer to implement native IPv6 from scratch and skip all those crappy transition methods completely. It actually works im my world. ...but unfortunately(?) my world is huge corporate networks and rather small scale ISPs, haven't worked for a big ISPs for a decade now, so i guess there could be a case for 6rd somewhere else. It's a little awkward that the proposal mentions "small ISPs", because with small ISPs there shouldn't be a problem to implement native IPv6... Anyways, the reason why i do support the proposal is just getting the additional bits for proper subnetting, that actually is a little PITA if you're a "not-big-yet-but-not-so-little-anymore"-type ISP. Doing network design meant to last more than some years the right way is a little hard there with a /32 sometimes. So i would welcome /29s instead of /32s. I cannot always justify more than an initial /32 at the moment. If that also helps with 6RD deployments, and it certainly does, sure, good thing. I don't see any downside of that since even for the earlier Allocations this was reserved already. But we should be clear here: /29 should be the end of the road for "no documentation needed". -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards Sascha Lenz [SLZ-RIPE] Senior System- & Network Architect
