Policy Proposal 113: IPv6 for 6rd

Proposal Originator: Alain Durand, Marla Azinger, Mark Townsley

Proposal Version: 1

Date: 4 May 2010

Proposal type: New

Policy term: permanent

Policy statement:

If you have non contiguous IPv4 addresses then you automatically qualify
for IPv6 space for 6rd.  Upon receipt of a 6rd request, the minimum
subnet required for the functionality of 6rd will be automaticlly
granted and larger blocks will be granted based on justification.  If
IPv6 addresses are already allocated to the requestor then an effort
will be made to give them an IPv6 allocation that is preferably
contiguous to the prior existing one.  The use of this address space
will be used for 6rd and returned to ARIN when 6rd is no longer used on
the network. Justification for use of IPv6 for 6rd will be reviewed
every 3 years and reclaimed if it is not in use. Requestor will be
exempt from returning all or a portion of the address space when 6rd is
no longer used if they can show justification for need of the 6rd
address space for other existing IPv6 addressing requirements.

The 6rd prefix is an RIR delegated IPv6 prefix.  It must encapsulate an
IPv4 address and must be short enough so that a /56 or /60 can be given
to subscribers. This example shows how the 6rd prefix is created based
on a /32 IPv6 prefix using RFC1918 address space from 10.0.0.0/8:

       SP IPv6 prefix: 2001:0DB8::/32
       v4suffix-length: 24 (from 10/8, first octet (10) is excluded
                            from the encoding)
       6rd CE router IPv4 address: 10.100.100.1
       6rd site IPv6 prefix: 2001:0DB8:6464:0100::/56

This example shows how the 6rd prefix is created based on a /28 IPv6
prefix using one of several non-contiguous global address ranges:

        SP IPv6 prefix: 2001:0DB0::/28
        v4suffix-length: 32 (unable to exclude common bits
                             due to non-contiguous IPv4 allocations)
        6rd CE router IPv4 address: 192.0.2.1
        6rd site IPv6 prefix: 2001:0DBC:0000:2010::/60

Rationale:

6rd is intended to be an incremental method for deploying IPv6 and
bridge the gap for End Users to the IPv6 Internet.  The method provides
a native dual-stack service to a subscriber site by leveraging existing
infrastructure. If an entity already has a /32 of IPv6 they can not use
the same /32 for native IPv6 as they do for the 6rd routing and a
separate minimum size of a /32 is required while a larger subnet like a
/28 may be needed based on a non-contiguous IPv4 addressing plan.

Subject: [arin-announce] Consultation ? Transfer Listing Service

ARIN is seeking community input regarding the implementation of a Transfer Listing Service for parties with documented need who are seeking IPv4 address space and parties who are authorized resource holders that may potentially be able to make IPv4 number resource available for transfer. The Transfer Listing Service is proposed to facilitate the implementation of Section 8.3 of the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM), entitled ?Transfers to Specified Recipients?, which allows a party to designate transfer of IPv4 number resources to a specified qualified recipient.

The proposed Transfer Listing Service is located at www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing.html<http://www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing.html>. It is a hypothetical model to generate discussion; ARIN is specifically interested in receiving feedback on the following:

1. How long should ARIN offer a Transfer Listing Service and what, if any, conditions should be tied to its availability?

2. As proposed, there is a usage agreement for participation. Is this a fair and reasonable requirement?

3. Under what conditions should ARIN disallow or remove either an organization listing or seeking IPv4 address space from the service? For example, if an organization has a Registration Services Agreement
(?RSA?) with ARIN and is not current on payments with ARIN, should they be allowed to participate?

4. Should there be a fee associated with the Transfer Listing Service?
If so, on what factors should the fee be based?

5. Are there any other factors that ARIN should consider in providing this service?

A Transfer Listing Service will begin operation as soon as possible after the successful completion of this community consultation.

Comments regarding this proposed Transfer Listing Service can be submitted through the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process, available at: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html

Discussion on arin-consult at arin.net<mailto:arin-consult at arin.net> will close on 21 May 2010, at noon EDT.

ARIN welcomes community-wide participation. Please address any process questions to info at arin.net<mailto:info at arin.net>.

Policy Proposal 114: RFC1918 as initial ISP multihomed criteria

Proposal Originator: Steve Bertrand

Proposal Version: 1

Date: 7 May 2010

Proposal type: Modify

Policy term: Permanent

Policy statement:

Append the following statement to the end of all three criteria under
4.2.2.2:

", or the equivalent number of addresses within RFC 1918 space."

Rationale:

There are times when I've come across an ISP network in which either
their, or one of their ISP clients access networks will fit the 4.2.2.2
requirements based on addresses, but they utilize RFC 1918 space with
numerous layers of NAT, with only a very small block of public address
space from their upstream(s).

In that case, to qualify under the multi-homed policy, the ISP (and/or
its clients) would first have to renumber out of the private space into
an upstream space, and then renumber again after receiving the
allocation from ARIN.

This brief amendment would alleviate the double renumbering, and
conserve the human resources required by all parties involved.

Although I've considered ideas on how the use of RFC 1918 space could be
justified to ARIN, I feel that this could be hashed out on the list if
the intent of the proposal is accepted by the community.

Timetable for implementation: immediate

Subject: [arin-announce] Help Determine Where ARIN Will be in 2012
Message-ID: <4BE97109.7070205@arin.net>

Bring the ARIN meeting to your own backyard! ARIN is looking for 
organizations interested in sponsoring network connectivity for our 2012 
Public Policy and Members Meetings. A quality network is critical to the 
success of the ARIN meeting, and by sponsoring you have a terrific 
opportunity to make ARIN XXIX or XXX a local event for you and your 
community! ARIN meetings have seen a healthy increase in remote 
participation, and we require a sturdy network as a backbone to our live 
webcasts, transcripts, and chat rooms to provide a level playing field 
for remote participants and attendees.

About Network Connectivity Sponsorship:

The network connectivity sponsor assists ARIN in determining the 
location of the meeting, and has the opportunity to highlight their 
support of the Internet community. ARIN requires its own wireless 
network at the meeting site, and we provide our own equipment and 
administration of the on-site network. We look to the network sponsor to 
provide us with both last mile connectivity and Internet transit. We 
require hotels that will allow us to install our own networking 
equipment and run our own wireless network.

Network sponsors must provide at least 25 Mbit/s of unfiltered, uncapped 
Internet transit to the meeting venue. ARIN prefers to have both IPv4 
and IPv6 transit; however IPv6 is not a requirement. The sponsor must 
provide either a /24 of IPv4 addresses or announce and route a /24 
provided by ARIN. If a sponsor offers IPv6 transit, it must provide 
either a /48 of IPv6 addresses or announce and route a /48 that ARIN 
provides. Tested and verified connectivity must be delivered to the 
hotel at least one week prior to the meeting, preferably earlier. ARIN 
staff will arrive, several days prior to the meeting to begin setup.

In addition, ARIN requires the network connectivity sponsor to provide 
whatever support, in terms of staffing and resources, is necessary 
before and during the meeting to ensure operational uptime and mitigate 
any problems that may arise with the connectivity. If possible, we also 
ask the network connectivity sponsor to provide two computers (laptops 
or desktops with monitor, mouse, and keyboard) and one network-capable 
printer for the ARIN Information Center.

As an organization in our region, we invite you to sponsor an event or 
function at this important and exciting gathering of the Internet 
community. We would like to hold our Spring 2012 meeting in Canada, and 
our Fall 2012 meeting in the United States.

Please note that ARIN?s Fall meetings are typically held back-to-back 
with NANOG meetings, requiring any potential sponsor to meet both ARIN 
and NANOG?s sponsorship requirements, as well as provide the necessary 
support and services for a longer time period.

Benefits of Sponsorship:

In addition to giving back to the community and contributing to a key 
part of ARIN?s mission through meeting network support, as this primary 
sponsor your organization will be prominently mentioned in all meeting 
materials (web and printed), be given the opportunity to make welcoming 
remarks during the meeting, receive free registrations for staff 
members, and possibly have your logo on the meeting give away.

Additional available sponsorship opportunities include exciting and 
popular social events, live webcasts, and meals and refreshment breaks.

To play a major role in these upcoming events and to help ARIN host its
2012 meetings, please respond to our event sponsorship invitation on or 
before Tuesday, 15 June 2010 by contacting D? Harvey, ARIN's Meeting 
Planner, at dharvey at arin.net or by phone at 703-227-9878. You may also

Message-ID: <4BF159D5.7050403@arin.net>

ARIN continues to improve its ability to serve the community by 
modernizing its external and internal systems. This includes updating 
provisioning systems to allow for more secure interactions with ARIN's 
database. ARIN will use a RESTful interface to allow automated ways to 
deal with ARIN above and beyond the existing ARIN Online system.

ARIN understands that many customers have tied in their automation 
systems with ARIN's existing e-mail template submission system and need 
time to retool their systems accordingly.  The schema is posted for your 
convenience. Please view the developing framework and use it to plan any 
necessary systems retooling efforts. ARIN anticipates rollout of this 
new service early in the fourth quarter of 2010. ARIN will continue to 
accept templates and will notify the community in advance of any future 
changes to the template submission system.

The documentation is available at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/restful-interfaces.pdf

Please note that this is an ongoing project and that ARIN's schemas are 
subject to change without notice.

ARIN welcomes community feedback regarding this ongoing project.

Register and submit your comments to the ARIN RESTful Provisioning 
Interfaces Mailing List.

Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Joins the ITU
Message-ID: <4BFAB0DA.6020808@arin.net>

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is a specialized agency 
of the United Nations that focuses on information and communication 
technology issues. ARIN is primarily interested in two of the ITU's 
three Sectors: ITU-T, which develops standards focused on information 
and communications technologies, and ITU-D, which helps spread 
equitable, sustainable, and affordable access to information and 
communication technologies in developing countries.

ARIN has joined the ITU to assist on matters related to the Internet, 
particularly issues pertaining to IP addressing. By providing 
experienced technical expertise in this field to the ITU, ARIN furthers 
its educational mission and offers valuable insight into the success 
that the Internet has achieved through community-based address policy 
development.

Many ITU activities are closed to nonmembers, so it is imperative that 
ARIN become an accredited member in order to fully participate and 
provide much-needed technical guidance on address management issues 
facing the ITU, the ARIN community, and the world at large.

This is a chance to work with the ITU to educate its community on the 
nature of Internet address and routing architecture and to represent the 
interests of the ARIN community on a global scale. ARIN's ITU membership 
will not affect ARIN's own policy development process, nor will it 
affect how ARIN interacts with its own membership.

ARIN is in the process of transitioning many of our current services to 
the new web-based ARIN Online platform.  Because the web-based platform 
will use a more secure authentication model, ARIN will be deprecating 
support for X.509 certificates. After 28 May 2010, ARIN will not accept 
new requests for X.509 certificates. ARIN will continue supporting the 
use of X.509 certificates for user authentication until late 2010. After 
that time, all transactions with X.509 signatures will no longer be 
authenticated. We encourage people who are using X.509 to either move to 
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) or to use ARIN Online as new features become 
available.
