[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-17: Change Utilization Requirements from last-allocation to total-aggregate - revised

[David Huberman]

So I don't get something:

If it's 80% overall, wouldn't this have an affect on of many XL networks, almost all of whom would be immediately eligible for more space even though they weren't eligible previously?

I feel like in missing something.

Draft Policy ARIN-2014-17
Change Utilization Requirements from last-allocation to total-aggregate

Date: 14 July 2014

Problem Statement:

Current ARIN policy calculates utilization on a per allocation basis
rather than in aggregate. This method of determining utilization may
cause some organizations to be unable to qualify for additional address
blocks despite attempting to use their resource allocations as best as
possible.  This issue has been exacerbated in the past couple of years
due to the 3-month allocation window which causes organizations to
receive smaller non-expandable allocations rather than a larger aggregate.

For example, if an organization has 4 x /22 and 3 of them are utilized
100% and the fourth utilized at 75%, an additional allocation request
would be denied.  However, an organization with a single /20 utilized at
80% would have less efficient utilization but would be eligible to
receive additional space.

Policy statement:

Update Section 4.2.4.1

ISPs must have efficiently utilized all allocations, in aggregate, to at
least 80% in order to receive additional space. This includes all space
reassigned to their customers.

Update Section 4.3.6.1

End-users must have efficiently utilized all assignments, in aggregate,
to at least 80% in order to receive additional space, and must provide
ARIN with utilization details.

Comments:
a. Timetable for implementation: Immediate
