Draft Policy ARIN-2014-22
Removal of Minimum in Section 4.10

Date: 25 November 2014

Problem Statement:

The current section 4.10 Dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6

an IPv4 allocation or assignment would potentially receive a block that 
today would be unroutable and therefore unusable for it intended purposes.

Policy statement:

Change

"This block will be subject to a minimum size allocation of /28 and a 
maximum size allocation of /24. ARIN should use sparse allocation when 
possible within that /10 block."

To

"This block will be subject to an allocation of /24. ARIN should use 
sparse allocation when possible within that /10 block."

Timetable for implementation: Immediate
