Problem statement ------------------------------------------------------- Note that this proposal is ONLY relevant when end-users obtain direct assignments from APNIC, or when a LIR obtains, also from APNIC, and assignment for exclusive use within its infrastructure.

Problem statement --------------------- Note that this proposal is ONLY relevant when end-users obtain direct assignments from APNIC, or when a LIR obtains (from APNIC as well), an assignment for exclusive use within its infrastructure.

The intended goal of assignments is for usage by end-users or LIRs in their own infrastructure (servers, equipment, interconnections, employees, guest devices, subcontractors, only within that infrastructure), not for sub-assignment in other networks.

The intended goal of assignments is for usage by end-users or LIRs in their own infrastructure (servers, equipment, interconnections, employees, guest devices, subcontractors, clearly only within that infrastructure), not for sub-assignment in other networks.

This last purpose was not documented, so it will fall out of the policy. 2.

The cause of the problem is easy to understand.

Objective of policy change ------------------------------------------------------- Clarification of the text, by rewording it.

Objective of policy change ------------------------------ Clarification of the text, by rewording and simplifying it and avoiding an unintended policy violation when deploying IPv6.

Situation in other regions ------------------------------------------------------- This situation, has already been corrected in AFRINIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE.

Situation in other regions ------------------------------ This situation, has already been corrected in AFRINIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE.

Situation in other regions ------------------------------------------------------- This situation, has already been corrected in AFRINIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE. 4.

In some cases, the reworded text corrected/clarified also other issues which do not happen in APNIC.

Proposed policy solution ------------------------------------------------------- Actual text: 2.2.3.

Assigned address space Assigned address space means address space delegated to an LIR, or end-user, for exclusive use within the infrastructure they operate.

Advantages / Disadvantages ------------------------------------------------------- Advantages: Advantages of the proposal: Fulfilling the objective above indicated and making sure to match the real situation in the market.

Advantages / Disadvantages ------------------------------ Advantages: Fulfilling the objective above indicated and making sure to match the real situation with IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Advantages / Disadvantages ------------------------------------------------------- Advantages: Advantages of the proposal: Fulfilling the objective above indicated and making sure to match the real situation in the market.

The proposal resolves the problem, now and in the future, for unintended violations that happen mainly because the incorporation of IPv6 in the networks, with a text that was written thinking mostly in IPv4 only.

Disadvantages: Disadvantages of the proposal: None foreseen.

Disadvantages: The proposal is NOT creating any trouble/change to networks that do not violate the actual policy.
