[rpd] IPv4 Resources in exchange for IPv6 milestones

[Owen DeLong]

I’ve been thinking about this concept a bit since Alain proposed simply forcing people to take v6 resources in order to get more v4 resources.

I think we can do better.

How about something like this…

Once we hit the last /11 (Soft Landing Phase 2), the following would apply:

1.	No requestor may receive more than a /22 per request.
2.	Each request must demonstrate 90%+ utilization of all previously issued space.
3.	During Soft Landing Phase 2 (and any subsequent phases which may be created), the
	following requirements shall be added to requests.

	A.	Each organization may make one request for IPv4 space so long as they have
		either previously received or simultaneously apply for and receive an
		amount of IPv6 space sufficient to support their organizations 5 year projected
		growth and migration of all existing infrastructure and customers to IPv6.

	B.	In order to make a second request, each organization must show that they have
		IPv6 peering established with a minimum of the lesser of 100% of all neighbor
		autonomous systems or two neighbor autonomous systems.

	C.	In order to make a third request, each organization must show that they have
		fully deployed IPv6 throughout their backbone network and that they are now
		capable of transporting IPv6 datagrams to at least one router in each and
		every point of presence, datacenter, or other site where the organization
		conducts operations.

	D.	In order to make a fourth request, each organization must sow that they
		have deployed IPv6 on their key infrastructure (mailservers, nameservers,
		web servers, etc.) (Note, this does not include web servers exclusively for
		customer use,but the web servers that serve the pages for the organization
		in question).

	E.	In order to make a fifth request, each organization must show that they
		are providing native IPv6 capabilities to at least 10% of their customer
		base.

	F.	In order to make a sixth request, each organization must show that they
		are providing native IPv6 capabilities to at least 50% of their customer
		base.

	G.	In order to make a seventh request, each organization must show that they
		are providing native IPv6 capabilities to their entire customer base.

	H.	In order to make an eighth request, each organization must show that they
		have converted at last 50% of their management and provisioning systems
		to IPv6.

	I.	In order to make a nineth or subsequent request, each organization must
		show that the only remaining IPv4 dependencies on their network are related
		to providing IPv4 services to customers and reaching external entities who
		lack IPv6 capabilities.

I realize this isn’t a formal proposal by posting it here. I would like to see what the community thinks of the idea. If there seems to be some general support, then I will write it up and submit as a formal proposal.
