APNIC recent policy implementations

10

prop-041: IPv6 assignment size tocritical infrastructure• Changed from “minimum /32” to “maximum

/32”.• Implemented 18 Dec 2006.

• Note: Critical infrastructures include rootDNS, gTLD, ccTLDs, IANA, RIRs andNIRs.

11

prop-032: Four-byte ASNs

• 1 January 2007– APNIC delegates 4-byte AS numbers when requested.– Else, a 2-byte only AS number will be allocated by

default.• 1 January 2009

– APNIC delegates 2-byte only AS numbers whenrequested.

– Else, a 4-byte only AS number will be allocated bydefault.

• 1 January 2010– No distinction between 2-byte and 4-byte AS numbers.

• Assigned 2 and allocated 10

12

prop-038: Amending APNIC's lameDNS reverse delegation policy• Implemented 1 Jan 2007.• Modifies APNIC's existing method for

identifying and removing lame DNS reversedelegations by adopting a definition oflameness that is consistent with generally-accepted best practice and other RIRs(where relevant).

13

prop-033: End site assignment policy forIPv6prop-031: APNIC IPv6 utilisationrequirement• Implemented 9 Mar 2007.• Now you can assign /64 to /48 to your

customer network depends on theirrequirement.

• Measurement unit changed from /48 to /56.• HD ratio changed from 0.8 to 0.94

14

prop-035: IPv6 portable assignment formultihoming• Implemented 9 Mar 2007.• An organisation is eligible to receive a

portable assignment from APNIC if it:- is currently multihomed with provider-based

addresses, or demonstrates a plan tomultihome within three months and,

- agrees to renumber out of previously assignedIPv6 address space.
