[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-12: Anti-hijack Policy

[David Huberman]

ARIN doesn't have the authority to write an LOA for space not explicitly registered to an entity in Whois.  Is this what happened?!?



Details would be nice if we're going to discuss 2014-12 in a meaningful way :)

That's an operational problem. No one should ever accept nor should ARIN ever write an LOA for anything except their own registered prefix.


Best,


Martin

The author or shepherds can provide more detail, but this was submitted in response to a recent presentation on research that involved announcing a covering aggregate for a significant fraction of the entire IP space with ARIN providing an LOA that allowed it. Per statements at the mic, the author doesn't want ARIN to allow that to happen again.

I issued and managed almost every experimental assignment for almost 10 years from 2003 to 2013, and I am lost as to what this policy is saying.  I would like to be educated so I can support, or not support, the efforts that have been made here.

The allocation size should be consistent with the existing ARIN minimum allocation sizes, unless small allocations are intended to be explicitly part of the experiment. If an organization requires more resource than stipulated by the minimum allocation sizes in force at the time of their request, their experimental documentation should have clearly described and justified why this is required.

ARIN will not issue a Letter of Authority (LOA) to route a research prefix unless the allocation is properly registered in whois.
