<br>
<br>
<div>
<div class="">
<div class="">Hello All,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you all for your interest in our policy proposal. Some of the impressions being created about what it sets out to achieve are incorrect.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The IPv4 softlanding-bis policy proposal does not intend to extend IPv4 lifetime at AFRINIC. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The policy proposal stays in the spirit of the global Global Policy for the Allocation of the remaining IPv4 address pool:
<a href="http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/135-afpub-2009-v4-001" class="">
http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/135-afpub-2009-v4-001</a> (section 2 and 3) and the current IPv4 soft landing policy
<a href="http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/697-ipv4-soft-landing-policy" class="">
http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/697-ipv4-soft-landing-policy</a> (section 3).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The proposal makes sure the distribution of the final /8 [102/8] is fair enough based on the current consumption rate, assures availability of IPv4 to new comers, to Critical Internet Infrastructure as well as to the current players as we go through
the transition to IPv6. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To achieve this, it says :</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- during phase 1, move the maximum from /10 to /15.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://afrinic.net/en/services/rs/membership-fees" class="">http://afrinic.net/en/services/rs/membership-fees</a> shows the member categories and /15 is the median which covers majority of AFRINIC membership as shown at <a href="http://www.afrinic.net/en/services/statistics/membership" class="">http://www.afrinic.net/en/services/statistics/membership</a>
[members by Category]</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- during phase 2, reserve a block for new comers and for Critical Internet Infrastructures(new and current). Make sure CIRs get IPv4 they need for their operations during the exhaustion and the transition. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">CIRs have been expanded to include TLDs during exhaustion phase 2. gTLDs are coming and ccTLDs being developed..</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Definition of CIR in other regions is available at :<a href="https://www.nro.net/rir-comparative-policy-overview/rir-comparative-policy-overview-2015-04#2-4-2" class="">https://www.nro.net/rir-comparative-policy-overview/rir-comparative-policy-overview-2015-04#2-4-2</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Our initial thinking was that IXPs may benefit from the CIRs block during the phase 2 as the current reserve may not last and cover their needs at that time. We have no objection about removing IXPs from CIRs.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">IPv6 deployment is slow. AFRNIC has the lowest rate of members with v4/v6[1]. During exhaustion, one must have IPv6 (from AFRINIC or upstreams ) when requesting IPv4. Deployment may not be enforceable but it puts IPv6 transition forward as the
clear agenda at this time.</div>

</div>
Text Below:<br class="">
<b class="">1) Summary of the Problem Being Addressed by this Policy Proposal<br class="">
</b><br class="">
The soft landing policy ratified by the board on 11/11/2011 describes how AFRINIC should manage allocations/assignments from the last /8. It defines 2 phases for IPv4 exhaustion. During phase 1, it sets the maximum allocation/assignment to be /13 instead of
/10 and in phase 2, the maximum to /22 and the minimum to /24. It makes no difference between existing LIRs or End-Users and new ones. The policy also does not impose IPv6 deployment.<br class="">
<br class="">
IPv4 exhaustion in other regions combined with other factors has imposed huge pressure on the AFRINIC IPv4 pool with requests for large IPv4 blocks, with very little IPv6 deployment. The pressure on the AFRINIC IPv4 pool has led to some policy proposals to
reserve some blocks for certain sub-communities.<br class="">
<br class="">
<b class=""><br class="">
2) Summary of How this Proposal Addresses the Problem</b><br class="">
<br class="">
This policy proposal solves the problem described above by:<br class="">
<br class="">
Changing the value of the maximum allocation/assignment size during the exhaustion phase 1.<br class="">
Imposing IPv6 resources as a pre-condition to IPv4 resource requests during the exhaustion.<br class="">
Reserving address spaces for Critical Internet Infrastructure and new LIRs or End-Users.<br class="">
Removing the minimum allocation size as this may evolve over time during the exhaustion period.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">3) Proposal<br class="">
</b><br class="">
3.1 The policy proposal changes clause/article 3.5.1 of the current IPv4 Soft Landing Policy to:<br class="">
3.5.1 EXHAUSTION PHASE 1During this phase,allocation/assignment of address space will continue as in the Current phase with no explicit minimum but the maximum will change from /10 to /15.<br class="">
<br class="">
Allocations and assignments will be made from the Final /8 or from any other IPv4 address space available to AFRINIC, until no more than a /11 of non-reserved space is available in the Final /8.At this point, exhaustion phase 2 will begin.<br class="">
<br class="">
For the avoidance of doubt all applications that will be in process at this point will be evaluated as per the new policy.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
3.2 This policy proposal changes Clauses/Articles 3.6, 3.8 and 3.9 of the current IPv4 Soft Landing Policy to:<br class="">
3.6 If any LIR or End User requests IPv4 address space during Exhaustion: There is no explicit limit on the number of times an organization may request additional IPv4 address space during Exhaustion Phase 1. During exhaustion Phase 2, new LIRs or End-Users
can receive only one allocation/assignment from the new LIRs or End-Users reserved pool.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
3.8 Allocation CriteriaIn order to receive IPv4 allocations or assignments during the Exhaustion Phase, the LIR or<br class="">
End User must meet IPv4 allocation or assignment policy requirements and must have used at<br class="">
least 90% of all previous allocations or assignments (including those made during both the Current Phase and the Exhaustion Phase).<br class="">
<br class="">
In the case of new LIRs or End Users with no previous allocations or assignments, this<br class="">
requirement does not apply to their first allocation or assignment request.<br class="">
<br class="">
LIRs and End users requesting IPv4 space must have IPv6 resources from AFRINIC (or request IPv6 concurrently with their IPv4 request), or from their upstream providers.<br class="">
<br class="">
AFRINIC resources are for the AFRINIC service region and any use outside the region should be solely in support of connectivity back to the AFRINIC region<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
3.9 IPv4 Address Space for [Internet Exchange Points (IXPs)], critical Internet infrastructure, new LIRs or End-Users and unforeseen circumstances<br class="">
<br class="">
During exhaustion phase 2, allocations/assignments to IXPs, Critical Internet infrastructure and new LIRs and End-Users will be as follows:<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
3.9.1 Assignments to critical infrastructure<br class="">
<br class="">
A /16 from the final /11 will be held in reserve for exclusive use by critical Internet infrastructure. On application for IPv4 resources, a critical Internet Infrastructure operator may receive one number resource (maximum /22).<br class="">
<br class="">
Critical infrastructure are ICANN-sanctioned DNS root server operators, IXPs, TLD (Top Level Domain) operators, IANA and RIRs.<br class="">
<br class="">
On application for IPv4 resources, an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) will receive one number resource (maximum /23) according to the following:<br class="">
This space will be used to run an Internet Exchange Point peering LAN; other uses are forbidden.<br class="">
New Internet Exchange points will be assigned a maximum of /24. Internet exchange points may return this assignment (or existing PI used as in the IXP peering LAN) should they run out of space and receive a larger (a maximum of /23 if utilization requires)
assignment.<br class="">
IP space returned by Internet Exchange Points will be added to the reserved pool maintained for use by Internet Exchange Points.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
3.9.2 Allocations/Assignments to new LIRs or End-Users<br class="">
<br class="">
A /14 from the final /11 will be held in reserve for exclusive use by new LIRs or End-Users with no prior IPv4 address space from AFRINIC. On application for IPv4 resources, a new LIR or End-User may receive one number resource (maximum /22).<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
3.9.3 Reserve for unforeseen situations<br class="">
<br class="">
A /13 IPv4 address block will be in reserved out of the Final /8. This /13 IPv4 address block shall be preserved by AFRINIC for some future uses, as yet unforeseen. The Internet is innovative and we cannot predict with certainty what might happen. Therefore,
it is prudent to keep this block in reserve, just in case some future requirement creates a demand for IPv4 addresses.<br class="">
<br class="">
When AFRINIC, can no longer meet any more requests for address space (from the Final /8 or from any other available address space), AFRINIC in consultation with the community via the Policy Discussion Mailing list and considering the demand and other factors
at the time will replenish the exhaustion pool with whatever address space (or part thereof) that may be available to AFRINIC at the time, in a manner that is in the best interests of the community.<br class="">
