Generally the older allocations would be left in place until deprecated by attrition. At least that's what I plan to advocate in my policy proposal. Owen Sent from my iPad On Oct 18, 2010, at 12:42 PM, Randy Carpenter <rcarpen () network1 net> wrote:
I have a few customers whose allocations are /29 away from their nearest neighbor (half a nibble). That seems a little close considering there is a lot of talk about doing nibble boundaries, and there doesn't seem to be consensus yet. For these customers, I don't think they will need more than a /29, but if we collectively decide that a /28 is the next step from a /32, how will the older allocations be dealt with? This is pretty much a rhetorical question at this point, and I suppose the proper thing to do is to channel these questions toward the PPML for discussion as potential policy. thanks, -Randy -- | Randy Carpenter | Vice President, IT Services | Red Hat Certified Engineer | First Network Group, Inc. | (419)739-9240, x1 ---- ----- Original Message -----Randy - We'll likely put that out to the ARIN community for consultation at the point in time when becomes a potential issue. I expect we will have plenty of time before that needs to be considered at the present rate of allocation. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN On Oct 18, 2010, at 3:08 PM, Randy Carpenter wrote:John, Can you tell us at what degree the bisection stops? i.e. does it keep going until there are no spaces left, or will you leave some space in between each one to leave some room for future needs for orgs that already have allocations? -Randy -- | Randy Carpenter | Vice President, IT Services | Red Hat Certified Engineer | First Network Group, Inc. | (419)739-9240, x1 ---- ----- Original Message -----On Oct 18, 2010, at 2:18 PM, David Conrad wrote:On Oct 18, 2010, at 6:59 AM, Jack Bates wrote:ARIN does reservations (unsure at what length, but at least down to /31).Do they still do that? Back when I was at IANA, one of the justifications the RIRs gave for the /12s they received was that they were going to be using the 'bisection' method of allocation which removes the need for reservation. Last I heard, APNIC was using the bisection method...ARIN is doing the same (the 'bisection' method) with our IPv6 management since January 2010: we refer to the "sparse allocation" approach and it was requested by the community during the ARIN/NANOG Dearborn meeting.
