[arin-ppml] ARIN-PPML Digest, Vol 103, Issue 1 micro allocations For IXP

Thu Jan 9 21:28:49 EST 2014


Re: Someone pointed me at 4.4 and noted that it says that an IXP can
receive an
allocation if two parties are present. The common understanding in the
industry is that two parties connected are private peering and three on a
common switch "could" be an IXP.
Is there a reason not to bump this number up to three in light of
prevailing circumstances and conservation of the infrastructure pool? If
two is arbitrarily low, it's a good time to make three arbitrarily low. I
think it would be wise in terms of insuring that resources are being used
effectively.
"End quote"

View....My offered view is If you have an IXP and meet the criteria for
allocation then why can it not be a min 2 operators.
Two change it to 3, because so many IXP s are 3 up... does not sound like
good justification....because whether 2 or 3.....it is still either private
peering OR 'could be an IXP'.

I also question the payback for changing .. V..  insuring  the effective
use of resources.

Additionally, I would ask the question...are we to reasonably to expect
that the exact same situation ie ...how we understand the function and use
of an IXP will that stay the same for IPv6 as we see more of the
development of the.. "internet of things" ....which may well morph or maybe
re define some parts of network architect??
Or do you think that IPv6 adoption is not going to have much or little
effect on IXPs....
