A Policy Story - IPv4 Transfer TWNIC OPM 26, Taipei 14 December 2016 George Kuo, Services Director 1

About APNIC • Membership-based, not-for-profit, R egional I nternet R egistry (RIR) • Delegates and registers IP addresses and AS numbers • Provides services for whois, reverse DNS, resource certification (RPKI), training and technical assistance 2

APNIC’s Vision A global, open, stable and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community 3

APNIC Activities Serving APNIC Members Supporting Regional Internet Development Cooperating with the Global Internet Community 4

Overview • Resources management vs policies • What was the trigger and why? • Development of the policies • What’s in the policy? • Transfer activities

Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) 4

Resources Management vs Policies • Internet Numbers Registry System (RFC 7020) • Goals of numbers distribution – ‘Allocation pool management’ – ‘Hierarchical allocation’ – ‘Registration accuracy’ … • Policies and processes developed regionally

The Inevitable Exhaustion

Concerns After IANA Pool Exhaustion • Very limited supply vs demonstrated needs • Lack of policy to guide IPv4 transfers • Risks of resources holdings not registered correctly

IPv4 Transfer Policy is needed to … • Ensure current and actual status of IPv4 registrations • Mitigate risks brought by unregistered transfers – Routing, addressing, network integrity • Allow unused IPv4 to return to active use

IPv4 Transfer Policy is needed to … 15

What’s in the Transfer Policy? Policy criteria – Minimum is a /24 Within Asia Pacific – Source addresses, registered, no region dispute, held under a current APNIC/NIR account LIR LIR – Recipients must demonstrate IPv4 needs – Transferred addresses subject to all current APNIC policies 16

What about Transfers Between Regions? • Developing economies in the Asia Pacific need more IPv4 • Large ‘Historical’ IPv4 space in other regions no longer in use • A policy framework to guide inter RIR transfers

Transfers Between RIR Regions Policy criteria – Minimum is a /24 Between RIR regions – Source addresses, registered, no dispute RIPE APNIC ARIN – Recipients subject to RIR policies NCC • APNIC - demonstrated needs • ARIN - demonstrated needs • RIPE NCC - no demonstrated needs 19

Take Part in Policy Development • Open – Anyone can propose policies – Everyone can discuss policy proposals • Transparent – Archives of all policy discussions and decisions are available publicly • Bottom-up – The community drives policy development
