Prop-093: Reducing the minimum

delegation size for the final /8

Policy SIG @ APNIC 31
23rd & 24th February 2011
Hong Kong
Introduction
• Proposal to change the minimum size of IPv4
delegations to a /24 when the final /8 policy
is activated
Current Problem
• Current final /8 policy requires networks to
meet the requirements for the minimum
allocation size currently in place
– To justify a /22, an immediate need for a /24 must
be demonstrated, with a detailed plan for use of a
/23 within a year
– This prevents small networks that are multihomed,
operating critical infrastructure, or connecting to
IXPs, or running IPv6 transition tools such as
NAT64 from justifying a need for IPv4 addresses
from the final /8
Situation in other RIRs
• There is no similar policy or proposal in other
regions
Details of the Proposal
• The minimum delegation size be set to /24
• The maximum delegation size remains at /22
– An organisation receiving a /24 under this proposal will be
able to request more IPv4 address space until they have
received a total of a /22
• Delegations under the final /8 policy will be extended
to include:
– Small multihoming assignments
– Internet Exchange Points
– Critical infrastructure
Advantages
• Proposal allows a greater range of networks
to access resources in the final /8
• Extends the maximum possible total of
networks benefiting from the final /8 from
around 16000 to around 65000
– Widens the assistance available to networks
making the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 over the
coming years
Disadvantages
• No disadvantages are foreseen
Impact on APNIC members and
NIRs
• This proposal impacts all APNIC members
• This proposal has no direct impact on NIRS,
but impacts members of NIRs in the same
way it impacts APNIC members
