Hi everyone, Perhaps this has been mentioned on the thread before, if so I must have missed it with so many messages, sorry :( Could someone point me out to the RIPE allocation policy? Which of the two below applies now ? I was under the impression that: IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Global Policy applied now, but I can't find a form @ RIPE for requesting IPv6 addresses with this policy. Is the old policy still in place ? Sorry if it is a dummy question, Thanks for any information, Best Regards, Joao Cabral. JC310-RIPE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- in ripe-196: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-196.html Subject to sections 4.2.2, and 4.2.3, Regional IRs will only make an initial allocation of sub-TLA address space to organisations that meet criterion (a) AND at least one part of criterion (b), as follows: a. The requesting organisation's IPv6 network must have exterior routing protocol peering relationships with the IPv6 networks of at least three other organisations that have a sub-TLA allocated to them. AND either b(i). The requesting organisation must have reassigned IPv6 addresses received from its upstream provider or providers to 40 SLA customer sites with routed networks connected by permanent or semi-permanent links. OR b(ii). The requesting organisation must demonstrate a clear intent to provide IPv6 service within 12 months after receiving allocated address space. This must be substantiated by such documents as an engineering plan or deployment plan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- in IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Global Policy: ftp://ftp.cs.duke.edu/pub/narten/ietf/global-ipv6-assign-2002-04-25.txt quote: To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organizaion must: a) be an LIR; b) not be an end site; c) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it will assign /48s, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation; and d) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organizations within two years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- --- Joao Cabral Vodafone - Portugal Engineering - Network Planning and Design Tel: +351 - 23 - 0915818 Mobile: +351 91 8736538 ---------- This message may contain confidential information or privileged material, and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
