4. Business As Usual
• The situation in APNIC does not affect the RIPE
NCC’s reserves of IPv4 addresses and we will
keep distributing these resources to our
members on the basis of need until we reach the
final /8.

7. “Run Out Fairly”
• Gradually reduced allocation and assignment
periods
• Needs for “Entire Period” of up to...
– 12 months (January 2010)
–9 months (July 2010)
–6 months (January 2011)
–3 months (July 2011)
• 50% has to be used up by half-way period
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 7

8. Final /8 Policy
• Each LIR can get one /22 allocation
• You must meet the criteria for an (additional)
allocation
• Only when you already have IPv6 addresses
• A /16 is reserved for unforeseen circumstances
• No Provider Independent (PI) assignments
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 8

9. Transfer of IPv4 Allocations
• LIRs can transfer IPv4 address blocks:
– To another LIR
– Only when the block is not in use
– Meets minimum allocation size (/21)
• Requests are evaluated by the RIPE NCC
• Registered in the RIPE Database
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 9

10. No Changes Yet
• Policy will only be triggered when the RIPE
NCC’s final /8 is reached
• Be aware of the shorter assignment period!
• And start deploying IPv6 now!

13. 2008-08 Initial Certification Policy
• This proposal lays out the guidelines on how
LIRs can receive certificates over their Internet
number resources and how these certificates
should be maintained
• Review phase: open to further community
discussion, ends on April 26
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 13

14. 2010-01 Temporary Assignments
• Proposes to allow the RIPE NCC to reserve
pools of IP addresses and Autonomous System
(AS) numbers, which can be used by the RIPE
NCC to make temporary direct assignments to
End Users
• Concluding phase: last call ends 11 May
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 14

15. 2010-08 Abuse Contact Information
• Proposal to make an IRT reference mandatory
for inetnum, inet6num and aut-num objects
• Discussion phase: awaiting documentation from
proposer
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 15

16. 2011-01 IANA Post Exhaustion Allocations
• This proposal describes the process that IANA
will follow to allocate IPv4 address space to
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) after the
central pool of addresses is exhausted
• Global policy proposal, open for discussion until
April 18
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 16

17. 2011-02 Multihome Requirement IPv6 PI
• Proposal to remove the multihoming requirement
for IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments.
• Discussion phase: ends 13 May

19. IPv6

20. Registration of IPv6 Assignments
• All assignments must now be registered in the
RIPE Database
• This includes existing assignments
• Method introduced to minimise the number of
objects you have to create and maintain
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 20

21. Grouping of Assignments
• New status value: AGGREGATED-BY-LIR
• New attribute called “assignment-size”
• Create one object covering multiple assignments
that share description and contacts
• Indicating the size of individual assignments
Marco Hogewoning, UKnof, 20 April 2011 21
