Internet Number Resources• Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses– 2 types: IPv4 & IPv6– Uniquely identifies a device on a

network–Moves info on the Internet

• Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs)– Used by network operators– Controls routing within networks– Exchanges routing info among ISPs

2

History of the Internet Protocol• Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)

– Developed for the original Internet (ARPANET) in 1978– 4 billion addresses– Deployed globally & well entrenched – Allocated based on documented need

• Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)– Design began in 1993 when IETF forecasts showed IPv4

depletion between 2010 and 2017– 340 undecillion addresses– Completed, tested, and available since 1999– Used and managed similar to IPv4

3

ARIN IPv4 DepletionARIN reached a last /8 on 23 April 2014

Triggering Final Phase of IPv4 Countdown Plan

ARIN’s IPv4 InventoryARIN still has a few IPv4 addresses remaining

5

IPv4 inventory published on

ARIN’s website: www.arin.net

Updated daily @ 12AM ET

Qualifying for an Autonomous System Number (ASN)• Confirm multi-homing

within 30 days• Provide verification of connectivity

with two or more ISPs– Signed connectivity agreement– Recent bill/invoice

6

Internet Service Provider (ISP) vs End-user

• ISP– Assigns address space to the users of the

network services it provides– Other ISPs and end-users are customers

• End-user– Receives assignments of IP addresses

exclusively for use in own operational networks

7

Connections to ISPs8

You are single-homed if you have 1 ISP

You are multi-homed if you have 2+ ISPs

Qualifying for IPv4as an ISP• Multi-homed– Two /24s reassigned to you– Data to show 2 /24s efficiently used

• Single-homed– 16 /24s reassigned to you– Data to show 16 /24s efficiently used

• Immediate need

9

Typically Requested IPv4 ISP Data• Mapping of static IP addresses/subnets

to customer names– May include customer justification

• List of all dynamic pools with prefix/range assigned, area served, utilization percentage

• Mapping of internal subnets with description and # IPs used

10

Three-month Supply Calculation• Justified need, not solely predicted

growth• Utilization rate of last allocation• Immediate need for exceptional

circumstances

11

Qualifying for IPv4 as an End-user• Multi-homed– 64 IP addresses used immediately– 128 IP addresses used within one year

• Single-homed– 1,024 IP addresses used immediately– 2,048 IP addresses used within one year

12

Typically Requested IPv4 End-user Data• Subnet mapping showing each

subnet to be created and for each subnet– Description of its purpose–# IPs used within 30 days–# IPs used within one year

13

Qualifying for IPv6 as an ISP• Have a previous v4 allocation from

ARIN• Intend to multi-home• Provide a technical justification which

details at least 50 assignments made within five years

14

Typically RequestedIPv6 ISP Data• If requesting more than a /32,

a spreadsheet/text file with–# of serving sites (PoPs, datacenters)–# of customers served by largest– Block size to be assigned (/48 typical)

15

Qualifying for IPv6as an End-user• Have a v4 direct assignment• Intend to multi-home• 2000 IPv6 addresses or 200 IPv6

subnets used within a year• Technical justification as to why

provider-assigned IPs are unsuitable

16

Typically RequestedIPv6 End User Data• List of sites in your network– Site = distinct geographic location– Street address for each

• Campus may count as multiple sites– Technical justification showing how

they’re configured like geographically separate sites

Qualification for Address Space Based on ARIN Policies

19

• Open– Developed in open forum– Anyone can participate

• Transparent– All aspects documented and available online

• Policy process, meetings, and policies• Bottom-up – Policies developed by the community– Staff implements, but does not make policy

Policies at ARIN20

• Policy Development Process (PDP)– Describes the process for making

policies in the ARIN region• https://www.arin.net/policy/pdp.html

• Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM)– ARIN’s Policy Document• http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html
