[rpd] RPD Digest, Vol 113, Issue 50

Mon Feb 29 10:43:10 UTC 2016

Je soutiens cette proposition en ce qu'elle fait un clin d'œil sur les ccTLD. Moi en tant que responsable du ccTLD ivoirien, déclarer qu'un TLD soit une ressource critique me réjouit et dans le même temps je souhaite qu'une plage leur soit réservée à l'instar des IXP.
AFRINIC sait que je viens de faire une demande dans ce sens, je suis dans l'attente...
Et puis, cette proposition fait la part médiane et elle consolide nos acquis.

Patrick.

s/lifetime/availability.

there was a lot of discussion around this at the time of the original policy.  many large ISPs felt that a /15 would severely impact them, and (please correct me douglas) that?s why during phase1, this was a large number (/10).

a median is fine, but, it?s still a median.  how do you propose afrinic deal with a large LIR request (specifically during phase1)

to be clear - because you did not state it - are you suggesting that we 
accept this definition for _this_ region as well?  and which definition? 
  it?s good to have reference, but, as has been pointed out before, 
what works elsewhere is *NOT* the same as what should needlessly be done 
here.  i, for one, would not support .MYSEXYNEWTLD as a critical 
resource, vs, say an african ccTLD.  others might feel otherwise.

since there are unlikely to be more RIRs created, and we *should* be 
able to assume that the IANA can take care of itself ;-)  what amounts 
to a CIR please?

you?re 100% correct in that the current reserve (when the hostmasters 
get around to implementing it) might not last.  we thumbsucked a number 
that we thought that the community would be willing to support, which 
worked to roughly 2x new IXPs per economy (well, less actually).  more 
space would be nice.
i don?t recall reading anyone asking for an exclusion;  i asked 
specifically how you saw the IXP?s *need* for non-network 
announcement, and *want* for allocations from a contiguous block, to 
easily identify accidental route leakage, to be addressed within this 
policy.  that remains unanswered.

i am still opposed to this part.  as it seems are others.  i am happy 
with the request-v4-once idea once you hit exhaustion phase X.  but 
i?m not happy about forcing an ipv6 allocation down someone?s 
throat;  that hardly sounds bottom-up to me?

ok, so then to save time, why doesn?t afrinic simply allocate the 
minimum the appropriate minimum IPv6 allocation to existing LIRs and EUs 
*now*;   ie. *every* resource member in good standing, that doesn?t 
already have an IPv6 allocation, automatically gets the minimum 
allocation per IPv6 allocation policy ? think of how many more cute 
infographics can be made showing IPv6 rollout^Wallocations^Wgrowth^W^W 
in africa !!!    :-)

incidentally, quoting from your earlier paragraph:
?The policy proposal stays in the spirit of ? soft landing (section 
3)?

and then reading those references:
135-afpub-2009-v4-001:
?This policy describes the process for the allocation of the remaining 
IPv4 space from IANA to the RIRs?

and:
697-ipv4-soft-landing-policy section 3:
?This policy (IPv4 Soft Landing), applies to the management of address 
space that will be available to AfriNIC after the current IPv4 pool is 
depleted.?
? in fact, the words IPv6 do not appear in soft landing, section 3, 
*at all*.

so, i?d strongly suggest to the authors to decouple ?IPv4 management 
under soft landing? (which i think is important) from, ?enforced 
ipv6 allocations?

best,
?n.

no it isn?t.  you can learn to use IPv6 and/or nat444 or SIIT, or ?

there are many good elements to the policy, and, perhaps, some bad ones.
it?s a lot more constructive to discuss the merits and shortcomings, 
than to attempt to inflict policy through fear-mongering?
