APNIC Policy Update
1st TWNIC IP Open Policy Meeting
3 December, 2003
Taipei, Taiwan
Internet Registry Allocation and Assignment
Policies
Overview of APNIC policies
• Definitions
• Background
• Objectives
• Environment
• Allocation & Assignment Policies
Policies
Allocation and Assignment
Allocation“A block of address space held by an IR (or
downstream ISP) for subsequent allocation or assignment”
• Not yet used to address any networks
Assignment“A block of address space used to address an
operational network”• May be provided to LIR customers, or used for
an LIR’s infrastructure (‘self-assignment’)

Portable & non-portable
Portable Assignments– Customer addresses independent from ISP
• Keeps addresses when changing ISP
– Bad for size of routing tables– Bad for QoS: routes may be filtered, flap-
dampened
Non-portable Assignments– Customer uses ISP’s address space
• Must renumber if changing ISP
– Only way to effectively scale the Internet
Policies
Allocation & assignment terms
Policies
• Terms used in ‘status’ field in the APNIC database
• Describes “portability” of the address space

Policies
APNIC Policies - objectives
• Conservation• Ensuring efficient use and conservation of resources
• Aggregation• Limiting growth of routable prefixes
• Registration• Registering the Internet resources in a public db
• Uniqueness• Global visibility
• Fairness and consistency• Equal consideration irrespective of external factors

CIDR made it work for a while
But they cannot berelied on forever
Projected routing table growth without CIDR
ISPs tend tofilterlonger prefixes

Policies
APNIC policy environment
“IP addresses not freehold property”– Assignments & allocations on license basis
• Addresses cannot be bought or sold• Internet resources are public resources• ‘Ownership’ is contrary to management goals
“Confidentiality & security”– APNIC to observe and protect trust relationship
• Non-disclosure agreement signed by staff
Policies
APNIC allocation policies
• Aggregation of allocation– Provider responsible for aggregation– Customer assignments /sub-allocations must be
non-portable
• Allocations based on demonstrated need– Detailed documentation required
• All address space held to be declared
– Address space to be obtained from one source• routing considerations may apply
– Stockpiling not permitted
Policies
Initial IPv4 allocation criteria
1a.Have used a /22 from upstream provider – Demonstrated efficient previous address usage
OR
1b.Show immediate need for /22• Can include customer projections & infrastructure equipment
2. Detailed plan for use of /21 within a year
3. Renumber to new space within 1 year
– Meet all policy requirements• Applicants may be required to show purchase receipts
Policies
APNIC allocation policies
• Transfer of address space– Not automatically recognised
• Return unused address space to appropriate IR
• Effects of mergers, acquisitions & take-overs– Will require contact with IR (APNIC)
• contact details may change
• new agreement may be required
– May require re-examination of allocations• requirement depends on new network structure
Policies
Address assignment policies
• Assignments based on requirements • Demonstrated through detailed documentation• Assignment should maximise utilisation
– minimise wastage
• Classless assignments• showing use of VLSM
• Size of allocation– Sufficient for up to 12 months requirement
Policies
Small multihoming assignment policy
1a. Applicants currently multihomed OR
1b. Demonstrate a plan to multihome within 1 month
2. Agree to renumber out of previously assigned space
– Demonstrate need to use 25% of requested space immediately and 50% within 1 year
– Meet all policy requirements or have the assignment revoked
Policies
IPv4 assignment policy for IXPs
Criteria– 3 or more peers– Demonstrate “open peering policy”
• APNIC has a reserved block of space from which to make IXP assignments
Policies
IXPs can apply for an assignment of /24 for Transit LAN

• 19th – 22nd August, Seoul, Korea
• Held in conjunction with Korea Internet Operations Workshop (KIOW)
• Longest banners of any APNIC meeting
APNIC16 – Policy Update
• Consensus points only – Proposals have been circulated for 2 month
‘comment period’ on the ML (until 20th Nov)– Currently awaiting EC approval

• Prop-002-v001: Document revision policy• Prop-008-v001: IANA IPv4 resource request
procedures
Policy Update from APNIC16..
• Prop-005-v001: RIPE-261 follow up– Regional allocations – Larger allocation size from IANA
• Size /8 or /12 needs further discussion
• Prop-006-v001: Historical resource transfers– Allows transfers from ‘historical’ to ‘current’ status– Recipient must be an APNIC member– Address space subject to current policy framework
• Prop-011-v001: Revised IXP assignment policy– Definition amended, restriction on routing lifted– Further discussion required for remainder of
proposal
Policy Update from APNIC16
• Database SIG– Prop-007-v001: Privacy of customer
assignment records– Prop-010-v001: Protecting resource
records in APNIC whois database
• DNS SIG– Prop-007-v001: Revised lame delegation
cleanup
• Informational only– Create a guidelines document to explain
existing IPv6 policy
