  1. IPv6 allocations to closed networks LACNIC VI Mar 29 – Apr 1, 2004 Montevideo, Uruguay

  2. Current Status • Consensus at APNIC17 • Open for comment on ML (8 weeks) • If no substantial objections EC endorsement requested • Co-ordination with other RIRs requested by community • To clarify language and intent of APNIC policy

  3. Problem with APNIC-089 • Initial allocation criteria includes: • [Organisation must] plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it will assign /48s, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation • Ambiguous points: • Does this include ‘private’ networks not connected to the global Internet? • If not, where do such networks obtain their addresses? • Advertising to whom

  4. Reviewing the background: • Lack of private address space available in IPv6 • There has been no allocation as in IPv4 yet • i.e. RFC1918 - 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 • Problem with IPv6 “site-local” address • Assignment size limited to /48 • Under discussion • draft-ietf-ipv6-unique-local-addr-03.txt • Large not-connected networks need IPv6 address • So do small networks in absence of site-local address

  5. Interpretation by Secretariat • Closed networks have been considered to be within scope of existing policy (in APNIC-089) • APNIC Secretariat has made one IPv6 allocation to such a network that met all other initial allocation criteria • During 2003, Secretariat sought clarification from the APNIC EC

  6. EC Interim Clarification Notice • EC published interim clarification notice in Nov 2003 • Directed Secretariat to continue making such allocations until APNIC OPM • http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/ipv6-policy-clarification.html • No reference ‘to whom’ such advertisements should be made • The advertisement may not be part of global Internet but may be part of private network

  7. Questions? • Thank you for listening
