  1. Jonny Martin, Philip Smith, & Randy Bush Policy SIG @ APNIC 27 26th February 2009 Manila, Philippines Prop-063: Reducing timeframe of IPv4 allocations from twelve to six months

  2. Introduction • Proposal to reduce APNIC’s allocation time window from 12 months to 6 months

  3. Current Problem • APNIC’s current allocation time window is twelve months • In the IPv4 run out phase, this means that any LIR applying for IPv4 address space will receive sufficient for their projected needs for the next 12 months • With the rapidly diminishing pool, this is very likely to cause unfair distribution of the remaining IPv4 pool

  4. Situation in other RIRs • This proposal has not been submitted to the other RIRs • AfriNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE currently make IPv4 allocations based on an LIR's estimated needs for up to twelve months

  5. Details of the Proposal • It is proposed that APNIC change the timeframe for which IPv4 allocations are made to to meet LIR's needs from twelve months to six months • This means that an LIR applying for IPv4 address space will only receive sufficient address space for their needs for the upcoming 6 months. Once that 6 month allocation has run out, the LIR will need to apply for another 6 month allocation • This excludes LIRs applying for APNIC’s minimum allocation; they will continue to receive an allocation for the upcoming 12 months

  6. Advantages • Ensures that there is a more even distribution of the remaining IPv4 address pool • Ensures that organisations have a greater opportunity to participate in the remaining IPv4 address pool during the runout phase

  7. Disadvantages • Organisations applying for IPv4 address space only receive sufficient resources for the next six months • Organisations applying for IPv4 address space may have double the annual application administration to perform • APNIC Secretariat may also have double the administration to perform

  8. 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 • Note: This proposal does NOT impact LIRs seeking APNIC’s minimum allocation

  9. Additional data • Looking at APNIC member allocations over last 2 years, number of LIRs returning for more resources: <3 months: 44 3 - 6 months: 54 6 - 12 months: 90 12+ months: 37
