Dear Colleagues,
The text of the policy proposal 2011-05, "Safeguarding future IXPs with IPv4 space", has been revised based on the community feedback received on the mailing list. We have published the new version (version 2.0) today. As a result a new Discussion Phase is set for the proposal.
Changes in version 2.0 include:
- Specified that a /16 will be reserved from the final /8 - The addition of two bullet points on the assignment size and on the use of space returned in the new section 5.6.2.
Detail: section 5 should (probably) say "clause 1 or clause 2". More general: it is entirely possible that the final /8 (minus the /16 for IXPs) will be distributed before the /16 for IXPs has run out. What will happen to the IXP-/16 then? Considering that any new organization will only get IPv6, a new IXP in that region will only need v6 connectivity anyway, so why have a seperate block then? Henk
