[arin-ppml] Request for Feedback: Draft Policy ARIN-2024-8 Restrict the Largest Initial IPv6 Allocation to /20

[jordi.palet at consulintel.es]

+1

If any organization can justify the need for a /16, should be able to get it.

Even I will say, if any organization can justify, for example, a /12 (I doubt it), should be able to get it.

Limiting IPv6 deployments is a non-sense.

Jordi

One /16 allocation in nearly a decade does not concern me. /16 allocations were intended to be rare but possible; in fact, I believe the policy is functioning as intended. If we see several additional /16 allocations in the next couple of years, I could be convinced to reconsider my position. But at this point, I think this policy is premature.

>> Problem Statement:
>> In order to promote aggregation, the NRPM currently allows initial allocations up to a /16. However, the entire IPv6 address space only contains 65536 /16s, and the space allocated to IANA for globally routable purposes only contains 8192 /16s. Therefore, a /16 is a sufficiently large portion of the IPv6 address space that the goal of conservation starts to outweigh the goal of aggregation.
>> 
>> Policy Statement:
>> 6.5.2.1b: Replace "In no case shall an ISP receive more than a /16 initial allocation." with "In no case shall a LIR receive more than a /20 initial allocation."
