IPv6 Initial Allocations /28 and extension to /28

Initial allocation size LIRs that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to receive an initial allocation of /32 or /28 without needing to supply any additional information.

Initial allocation size LIRs that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to receive an initial allocation of /32 up to /28 without needing to supply any additional information.

Existing IPv6 address space holders LIRs that hold one or more IPv6 allocations that were originally issued directly by the RIPE NCC as a single prefix may request an extension of each such allocation up to a /28 without the need for additional documentation.

Existing IPv6 address space holders Organizations, not LIRs, that hold one or more IPv6 allocations that were originally issued directly by the RIPE NCC as a single prefix may request once an extension of one of such allocation up to a /28 without the need for additional documentation.

Allowing extensions only for allocations originally issued as a single prefix avoids the risk of abuse by infinitely extending chunks resulting from partial IPv6 transfers. RIPE NCC confirmed that there are 22,682 IPv6 allocations.

The proposal allows only one extension per organization, which limits some of the potential adverse effects of stockpiling.

All this might result in reducing the IPv6 routing table size. b.

Note that the 91% is calculated including presumable stock-pilers.

Arguments Opposing the Proposal None.

Arguments Opposing the Proposal This policy proposal is perceived as counterproductive to conservation efforts.

This is by simplifying the way LIRs can obtain IPv6 address space suitable for their networks’ operational requirements. The proposal originates from the opinions expressed by members of the RIPE community in the Address Policy Working Group during presentations [1], interim sessions [2] and a call with the WG Co-Chairs on this topic.

It also addresses the RIPE NCC Executive Board’s concerns in the previous impact analysis about using “Members” instead of “LIRs”.

Sixty-eight of them already have /28 or shorter prefixes (so 22,614 of them are /29-/32).
