Kevin,<br><br>I have a question.. with regard to item <br><br> Have an IPv4 assignment or allocation directly from an RIR,<br> the IANA or legacy registry<br> <br> Qualify for an IPv4 assignment or allocation from ARIN under
<br> the IPv4 policy currently in effect<br><br>do you really mean an assignment or allocation under ANY policy in effect? If an org has a micro allocation from ARIN of some very small size they should still qualify for a /44? I am not passing any judgement here I am just curious.

This is the latest draft for the revision of 2005-1. We<br>are interested in feedback before we submit it as the<br>formal revision. For qualification purposes it is much<br>closer to the original 2005-1. Unlike any previous version
<br>assignment size is variable (explained in the justification<br>section).<br><br>Add new definition in section 6.2 of the NRPM:<br><br> 6.2.10 Physical Location<br><br> A distinct physical location is identified by a unique street
<br> address within an organization. Different apartment, suite, room,<br> unit or other similar identifiers at the same address for the same<br> organization are not considered unique.<br><br>Add new subsection in section
6.5 of the NRPM:<br><br> 6.5.8. Direct assignments to large/multihomed end sites<br><br> <a href="http://6.5.8.1" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">6.5.8.1</a>. To qualify for a direct assignment, an
<br> organization must:<br><br> a) not be an IPv6 LIR;
<br> b) meet at least ONE of the following requirements:<br><br> 1) Have an IPv4 assignment or allocation directly from an RIR,<br> the IANA or legacy registry<br> 2) Qualify for an IPv4 assignment or allocation from ARIN under
<br> the IPv4 policy currently in effect<br> 3) Be currently multihomed using IPv6 to two or more separate<br> LIR's using at least one /48 assigned to them by each LIR.<br><br> <a href="http://6.5.8.2" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
6.5.8.2</a>. Direct assignment size to large/multihomed end sites<br><br> Organizations that meet the direct end site assignment criteria<br> are eligible to receive a direct assignment. The size of the<br>
assignment is based on the number of distinct physical locations<br> where the assignment will be used. The following table will be<br> used to determine the assignment size:<br><br> +-------------------------+
<br> | Locations | Assignment |<br> +------------+------------+<br> | 1-13 | /44 |<br> | 14-183 | /40 |<br> | 184-2486 | /36 |<br> | 2487-33688 | /32 |
<br> +------------+------------+<br><br> For organizations requesting an assignment shorter than /32 the<br> HD ratio method will be used. For the HD ratio the utilization<br> threshold is based on the numbmer of distinct physical
<br> locations that will be using IPv6. The HD ratio used will be<br> the same as in section <a href="http://6.5.2.2" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">6.5.2.2</a>.
<br><br> <a href="http://6.5.8.3" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">6.5.8.3</a>. Subsequent Assignment Size
<br><br> An organization may receive an additional assignment when it<br> has grown to include enough distinct physical locations to<br> justify the larger assignment. Where possible, the assignment
<br> will be made from an adjacent address block.<br><br>Justification:<br><br>In IPv4 policy there are three major types of organizations that<br>addresses are delegated to.<br><br> o ISP's receive allocations directly from ARIN or from other ISP's
<br> o End Users receive assignments from ISP's<br> o "Large" and/or multihomed End Users may receive assignments directly<br> from ARIN.<br><br>The third category is currently missing from IPv6 policy and
<br>this is believed to be severely hindering deployment by those<br>organizations. In IPv6 policy-speak:<br><br> o LIR's receive allocations directly from ARIN<br> o End Sites receive assignments from LIR's<br><br>This policy proposes:
<br><br> o "Large" and/or multihomed End Sites receive assignments directly<br> from ARIN.<br><br>This policy applies to organizations with networks that are<br>large and/or complex enough to justify direct assignments. Like their
<br>IPv4 counterparts they do not make assignments to external<br>organizations. They instead assign space internally to their own<br>facilities. Similarly to IPv4 These internal assignments are not<br>submitted to ARIN via swip/rwhois.
<br><br>A IPv6 network is considered eligible if it is multihomed.<br>For transition purposes an organization with an IPv4 assignment or<br>allocation from an RIR (or the legacy RIR) is automatically considered<br>elligible, regardless of whether they were considered an ISP or End
<br>User under IPv4 policy. It is expected that the IPv6 only (non<br>transition) requirements will be further refined as experience is<br>gained.<br><br>Since no /48's are assigned to external organizations, assignment size
<br>is determined solely by the number of distinct physical locations to be<br>served (based on the 1 /48 per POP precedent for LIR's). It is expected<br>that almost all assignments will fall between /44-/32. That assignment
<br>range has been limited to nibble boundaries to simplify reverse dns.<br>The assignment thresholds for that range were determined using an HD<br>ratio of 0.94 in accordance with 2005-5. A minimum assignment size of<br>
/44 is proposed to allow for some growth and flexibility of use for the<br>smallest applicants. /32's are not assigned by default because it would<br>be unnecessarilly wasteful for the vast majority of assignments.<br><br>
