Hi, just a few bits of clarification... On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 11:30:13AM -0500, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ wrote:
I???ve decided to propose, for this discussion, 75%, following ARIN similar policy. I believe is a fair threshold when a network is expanding number of customers, to allow the ISP to plan ahead with sufficient anticipation.
Well, the reason for HD ratio is that a fixed utilization rate was seen as "too unflexible to accomodate aggregation loss on multiple hierarchies", especially in large networks - where HD ratio requires FAR less than 75%, so that would be a large change towards a much more conservative(!) rule.
So yes, you???re right that we could split the question in two: 1) Do you agree removing the HD-ratio and using a % utilization value instead? 2) If yes to 1), What % do you think is a good threshold?
My point of view is that HD-ratio makes it unnecesarily complex, and causes confusion if you???re using something different than /56, as the actual table in the existing policy works based on that, but you may be assigning /48, a mix of /48 and /56, or something else.
The "confusion" about /48 and /56 has been brought up a few times, and the NCC has made it clear that they consider "a single assigned /48" to be the equivalent of "256 /56s" for the purpose of evaluating HD ratio. Nothing really "complex" or "confusing" here - you count your /56s, you look up the HD value that applies to your network size, and then you have a clear "ratio reached / not reached" answer.
