So, I've edited it some and expanded it to include IPv6 allocations. I'd like to hear your comments on any improvements to this proposed policy enhancement. Regards, Mark -- Mark Kosters markk at netsol.com Verisign Applied Research -------------- next part -------------- ARIN will make micro-allocations to critical infrastructure providers of the Internet, including public exchange points, core DNS service providers (e.g. ICANN-sanctioned root, gTLD, and ccTLD operators) as well as the allocation agencies (RIRs and IANA). These allocations will be no longer than a /24 using ipv4 or a /48 using ipv6. Multiple allocations may be granted in certain situations. Note that exchange point allocations should not be announced on the public Internet whereas the others may be announced on the Internet. ARIN will provide a list of Micro-allocations to apprise ISPs on what blocks are allocated to aid in their route filter development. Exchange point operators must provide justification for the allocation, including: connection policy, location, other participants (minimum of two), ASN, and contact information. ISPs and other organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged under the ISP fee schedule, while end users will be charged under the fee schedule for end users. This policy does not preclude exchange point operators from requesting address space under other policies.

The other RIRs already adopted a policy for exchange points only. Just like they did, I would like to have single clear document for an exchange point operator on what it takes to get addresses and which address block is used for this purpose so that filtering is possible. Having routable micro-allocations seems to me a completely different topic altogether with a completely different set of pros and cons that should be discussed separately.

The primary reason of why NAT is so popular is that NICs do not offer IPv4 addresses promptly, because NICs feared shortage of IPv4 addresses. The wrong policy on IPv4 address assignment made NAT profittable. ----- Correct....the I* society has created those flawed policies to pay their insiders and to give their insiders an unfair advantage. In some cases, the I* insiders have attempted to shake people down for money, graft, kick-backs, etc. to obtain the artificially scarce Internet resources that they carefully control, like diamonds from mines in Africa. Now that we have a more and more educated Internet population, they are seeing the fraud and corruption that the I* society Taliban (or Teleban) have spread around the world. Freedom loving people (as George W. says) need to continue to educate people, keep working on the new code in Linux and FreeBSD, and keep helping their clueless government officials understand who has been responsible for this I* society period of history and how dangerous it is to allow them to continue to infect the fabrics of our real societies.
