1. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E APNIC Open Address Policy Meeting Address Policy SIG October 26th, Brisbane

2. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Proposal Definition  A proposal for an amended ‘Provider Independent’ (PI) address assignment policy

3. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Background  CIDR promotes hierarchical addressing  Through ‘Provider Aggregatable’ assignments  PI assignments discouraged  Requests for PI assignments  For redundancy, resiliency and load sharing  Due to lack of knowledge of CIDR  Frequently small, usually multi-homed  Routing table concerns  Increase of 36% in routing table size in last 12 months  Over 50% announcements comprise /24’s

4. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Motivation  APNIC current policy  Assign PI to ‘Non-Member’ with one-time payment of US$8,192 (formal)  Assign PI through existing members without charge to both applicant and member (informal)  No contract  Inconsistent across membership  APNIC needs a clearer policy framework when assigning Provider Independent (PI) addresses  Issue raised at SIG in Korea  No input but consensus for change, hence proposal

5. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Current Status - Other RIRs  RIPE NCC  Assign PI to end-users only through members  No contract  Criteria: end-users must give reasons  No minimum assignment size, no sub-assignments  ARIN  Assign PI to end-users directly  Requestors sign ‘Registration Services’ contract  Criteria: multi-homed and should have utilised a /21 and demonstrate need for /20 in next 3 months  No sub-assignments

6. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Discussion - Technical  Type of connectivity?  eBGP mandatory criteria?  Proposal: multi-homed (eBGP) to different ISPs or ‘planning to multi-home’  Rationale: Promotes hierarchical routing  Size of site?  How large should the site be for a PI assignment?  Proposal: ‘sufficiently large’  Utilised a /21 from their upstream ISP or able to demonstrate they plan to use a /21 in 3 months and a /20 in a year  Rationale: Follows minimum practical allocation policy

7. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Discussion - Administrative  Contractual  Proposal: To establish a contractual relationship with end user  Rationale: Lack of contract makes it difficult to manage, need to provide in-addr and whois services  Consistency  Proposal: NIRs should implement same policies Assignments made by APNIC through NIRs.  Rationale: APNIC and NIRs may have different policies leading to inconsistency across region

8. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Discussion - Financial  Consistency  With fee structure for allocation of the same size (/20)  One time fee with maintenance fees  ‘Non-member’ income  Subject to company taxation (estimated at 34%)  Proposed  Up to and including a /19USD $ 2500 + 34% tax  > than a /19 and = a /16USD $ 5000 + 34% tax  > than a /16USD $10000 + 34% tax  Admin fee $1000 and annual 10% maintenance fee

9. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Summary and Recommendations  New PI policy proposed  Organisation should be multi-homed or plan to be within 3 months  Have used a /21; or plan to use /21 in 3 months and a /20 in a year  Pay the fee and the maintenance fees  Sign a contract with APNIC  Accept space from 202/7  No sub-assignments outside organisation  Expectation to be routed as aggregate  NIRs implement same policies through APNIC

10. A S I A P A C I F I C N E T W O R K I N F O R M A T I O N C E N T R E Implementation  Implementation date  3 months from approval from membership  Discontinue formal and informal PI policies  APNIC to prepare documents  PI contract  Fee structure document  Update forms and web-site  Inform the community with mailing lists & web
