RIPE community 6
Policy development cycle Need Evaluate Propose Implement Discuss Consensus 7
RIPE community Develops policies Open to everyone Communicates on Working Groups mailing lists Meets twice a year at RIPE Meetings. RIPE Meetings in 2011: - RIPE 62 (Amsterdam, 2-6 May) - RIPE 63 (Vienna, 31 October - 4 November) All new LIRs get two free tickets to attend Remote participation provided 8

IPv4 exhaustion phases IPv4 still available. RIPE NCC continues distributing it RIPE NCC s allocation policy from last /8 applies RIPE NCC can only distribute IPv6? now time IANA pool exhausted Each of the 5 RIRs given a /8 RIPE NCC reaches final /8 RIPE NCC pool exhausted 12
Wait and See?
IPv4: still your Christmas wish? 14
What we are doing Reduced allocation/assignment periods Transfer of IPv4 address space Final /8 15
Run Out Fairly RIPE Policy Proposal 2009-03, Run Out Fairly Gradually reduced allocation / assignment periods - 12 months (January 2010) - 9 months (July 2010) - 6 months (January 2011) - 3 months (July 2011) 50% has to be used up by half-period 16
Transfer of IPv4 allocations LIRs can transfer address blocks - To another LIR - Only when it s empty - Meets minimum allocation size (/21) Requests are evaluated by the NCC Registered in the RIPE database 17
The RIPE NCC s last /8 How will distribution of the last /8 differ? 18
The RIPE NCC s last /8 Each LIR can get one /22 allocation Only if LIR already has IPv6 You must meet the criteria for an (additional) allocation /16 reserved for unforeseen situations No PI assignments 19

Unannounced early registration addresses Identify legacy space which is currently not announced on the internet Contact the holders about the possibility of returning those addresses 400 organisations contacted And some blocks returned 21
Future? IPv6! 22
IPv6? Yes please.
IPv6 Ripeness Rating system: - One star if the LIR has an IPv6 allocation - Additional stars if: - IPv6 Prefix is announced on router - A route6 object is in the RIPE Database - Reverse DNS is set up - A list of all 4 star LIRs: http://ipv6ripeness.ripe.net/ 24

To get an IPv6 allocation You must: - Be an LIR - Have a plan for making assignments within two years Minimum allocation size /32 Allocation size is based on customer numbers and growth, not on transition technique! 30
Getting IPv6 PI address space Minimum assignment size /48 PI space can not be used for sub-assignments An organisation must: - Demonstrate it will multihome - LIRs must demonstrate special routing requirements - Meet contractual requirements 31 so the PI can NOT be used for End-User companies who have customers themselves (e.g. web hosting, broadband, (a)dsl...)
Assigning IPv6 to customers Give your customers enough addresses - Up to a /48 For more addresses, send in request form - Alternatively, make a sub-allocation Every assignment must now be registered in the RIPE database 32
