Draft Policy ARIN-2016-4: Transfers for new entrants
Date: 21 June, 2016
Problem Statement:
New organizations without existing IPv4 space may not always be able to
qualify for an initial allocation under NRPM 4.2, particularly if they
are categorized as ISPs and subject to 4.2.2.1.1. Use of /24. Now that
ARIN's free pool is exhausted, 4.2.1.6. Immediate need states that
"These cases are exceptional", but that is no longer correct. End user
organizations requiring less a /24 of address space may also be unable
to acquire space from their upstream ISP, and may instead need to
receive a /24 from ARIN via transfer.
Policy statement:
Replace Section 4.2.2 with:
4.2.2. Initial allocation to ISPs
"All ISP organizations without direct assignments or allocations from
ARIN qualify for an initial allocation of up to a /21, subject to ARIN's
minimum allocation size. Organizations may qualify for a larger initial
allocation by documenting how the requested allocation will be utilized
within 24 months for specified transfers, or three months otherwise.
ISPs renumbering out of their previous address space will be given a
reasonable amount of time to do so, and any blocks they are returning
will not count against their utilization.
Replace Section 4.3.2 to read:
4.3.2 Minimum assignment
ARIN's minimum assignment for end-user organizations is a /24.
End-user organizations without direct assignments or allocations from
ARIN qualify for an initial assignment of ARIN's minimum assignment size.
Replace the first two sentences of Section 4.3.3. Utilization rate to read:
Organizations may qualify for a larger initial allocation by providing
appropriate details to verify their 24-month growth projection for
specified transfers, or 12 months otherwise.
Resulting new section 4.3.3 will be:
Organizations may qualify for a larger initial allocation, by providing
appropriate details to verify their 24-month growth projection for
specified transfers, or 12 months otherwise.
The basic criterion that must be met is a 50% utilization rate within
one year.
A greater utilization rate may be required based on individual network
requirements. Please refer to RFC 2050 for more information on
utilization guidelines.
Comments:
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
Anything else
The text in 4.2.2 "for specified transfers, or three months otherwise"
and the text in 4.3.3 "for specified transfers, or 12 months otherwise"
should be stricken if ARIN-prop-227 is adopted.
