Allocation Principles Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 6

Aggregation very large address space will be in use for a long time must limit routing table growth Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 7

Aggregation Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 8

Aggregation Conservation very large address space it has to last a long time Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 9

Aggregation Conservation Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 10

Aggregation Conservation Registration uniqueness is always important troubleshooting for operators Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 11

Current IPv6 Address Policy Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 14

be an LIR Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 15

not be an end-site Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 16

assign /48s to other organisations Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 17

advertise a single prefix Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 18

have a plan to make 200 assignments in two years Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 19

Current Policy Proposals Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 20

Proposal 2005-08 refinement of allocation sizes and accounting Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 21

Proposal 2005-08 Flexible customer assignment sizes Smaller LIR allocations Different utilisation counting method Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 22

Proposal 2006-01 Provider independent assignments Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 23

Proposal 2006-01 IPv6 assignments to end-users Multi-homing Routing table growth Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 24

Proposal 2006-02 refinement of allocation criteria Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 25

Proposal 2006-02 No more arbitrary number of customers Customers can be LIR ’ s own organisation Must announce as a single aggregate Alex Le Heux ICANN, Lisbon 2007 http://www.ripe.net 26
