New on RIPE Labs: So Long Last /8 and Thanks For All the Allocations
by Mirjam Kuehne 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Dear colleagues, On 17 April 2018, we allocated the last available block of 1,024 addresses in 185/8 - the last /8 we received from IANA back in 2011. This article on RIPE Labs looks at how this address space was allocated and how it is used today: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/so-long-last-8-and-thanks-for-all-the… It's important to keep in mind that while 185/8 is finished, we still have around nine million recovered IPv4 addresses in our available pool. Under current policy and growth rates, we expect these to last a further two years. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

by Marco Schmidt 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

Dear colleagues, Consensus has been reached on 2019-02, "IPv4 Waiting List Implementation". This proposal aimed at creating a waiting list based on an allocation size of /24 once the RIPE NCC’s free IPv4 pool is exhausted. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-02 The new RIPE Document is called ripe-725 and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-725 We estimate that this proposal will take around one to two months to fully implement. We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place. Thank you to everyone who provided input. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Officer RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Proposal 2019-02, "IPv4 Waiting List Implementation", is now in Concluding Phase. This proposal aims at creating a waiting list based on an allocation size of /24 once the RIPE NCC’s free IPv4 pool is exhausted. The WG co-chair has declared that rough consensus has been reached and the proposal will now move to Last Call. As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four week Concluding Phase is to give an opportunity to present well-justified objections for those who missed the previous two phases and wish to oppose the proposal.

question about IPv4 legacy and transfers - should we convert legacy to non-legacy with transfers?
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Hi all, I keep thinking that ripe-682 (RIPE resource transfer policies), should have a provision (as it is the case in all the other RIRs), in order to "convert" the legacy resources to non-legacy, when they got transferred. I don't really recall if this was discussed during the relevant proposal discussion, and it will be great if someone can summarize it (I guess the author or chairs, or even the staff). I think we should consider amend that, unless the reasons it was not done at that time, persist today, or even if those reasons persist, may be the community has a different view. I think the text should be something such as: IPv4 legacy resources will no longer be regarded as legacy resources: - In the case of intra-RIR transfers. - In the case of inter-RIR, when incoming to RIPE service region. I think this is a benefit for the global community, because with that, we bring into the RIR system more and more legacy IPv4 resources, which increase the transparency and community control. In a presentation from ARIN for the 2016-2018 period it has been mention: - Overall space managed by ARIN decreased by ~14 million IPv4 addresses, due to Inter-RIR transfers - Overall ARIN issued space increased by ~30 million IPv4 addresses, due primarily to conversion of legacy space via in-region transfers Opinions?

Hi Jim, El 15/7/19 2:16, "Jim Reid" <jim(a)rfc1035.com> escribió: > On 14 Jul 2019, at 22:54, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ via address-policy-wg <address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net> wrote: > > I know that every region is different, but we live in a global Internet, and it is surprising to me that we are the only out of 5 RIRs, that has not done this already. Embrace diversity! I'm fine with diversity, or course! "Because the other RIRs do it" isn't by itself a strong enough justification for the RIPE region to copy them. My point here is that I disagree with not turning non-legacy into legacy. I think this is bad for the community. So as part of the diversity, my point of view is "divergent" with the actual policy, but is the same as the other 4 RIRs. I'm sure in RIPE we have people in one side, the other side, and the middle one. In this particular case, I am not convinced the proposal has any merit. Forcing legacy space to be subject to RIR policy on transfer is just wrong. The holders got that space before the RIRs existed. Which means it's grossly unfair and unreasonable to retroactively make that space subject to RIR policy, even when that space gets transferred. If the legacy holder chooses to do that, fine. However they cannot and must not be compelled to do so. Here is where we disagree. I'm looking for what is best of the overall community, not the best of the legacy owners. I'm very honest here. It was just wrong we got legacy allocations, but it was no other way as the RIRs didn't existed. I think we can try to correct as much as possible past mistakes. Nobody is forcing the existing holders to do the transfers, they can just keep their resources and avoid that. I think is fair that destination holders are in-the-systems mandatorily. Such a policy may also be counter-productive since it (a) could discourage legacy holders from releasing unused space; (b) make such space unattractive to recipients because it would be subject to RIR policies, RIR fees might be payable, etc. (c) introduce uncertainty in the transfer market because donors and recipients get concerned that future transfers of legacy space could get singled out for yet more Bad Ideas. I think it has been demonstrated by the stats of the last 2 years, that (a) is not the reality. (b) this is a community decision, and my personal view is that it should be that way. (c) this will not be retroactive: transfers already done with the exiting policy will not turn into non-legacy (unless they get transferred again). Let's assume your hypothetical proposal became policy Jordi. Would it apply to transfers of legacy space that took place before this policy came into effect? If no, why not? If yes, it would imply all RIR policies have to be retroactively be imposed on legacy holders. I just responded to this (c) above. I'm not considering retroactivity. They will if they become transferred again. I think it's time to introduce a new policy proposal which brings about a moratorium on v4 address policy proposals. > I think this is a benefit for the global community, because ... increase the transparency and community control. Your comment about increased control is deeply troubling. Are you trying to turn the RIR system into the IP address police or the ITU? Do you want to bring about an investigation by the competition authorities? Be careful what you wish for -- you just might get it! You know may answer already: not at all. I meant control by *this* community, by our policy system. Sorry if I was not clear. ********************************************** IPv4 is over Are you ready for the new Internet ? http://www.theipv6company.com The IPv6 Company This electronic message contains information which may be privileged or confidential.
