• IAB Recommended Policy on Distributing Internet
  Identifier Assignment
• RFC1366 (1992)
• Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space
• Released with RFC1367 (CIDR)
• Documents provided rationale for RIRs
• Criteria for establishment
• Operating guidelines

5
ARIN

• American Registry for Internet Numbers
• Founded in 1993, as division of InterNIC
• Independent association since 1997

RIR Model - Structure

• Bottom-up, industry, self-regulatory structure
• Open and transparent
• Neutral and impartial
• Not for profit organizations
• Membership open to all interested parties
• Membership elects Board of Trustees and Advisory
  Council
• Membership approves activities budget
• RIRs do NOT register domain names

9
Formation of ICANN

• US Government decision to end USG management of
  the global Internet
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
  Numbers (ICANN) formed as the industry
  self-regulatory body

10
AFRINIC?
LACNIC?
11
ICANN ASO

• Formed by RIRs based on existing and proven
  regional policy structures
• Responsible for global policy coordination within
  ICANN framework
• Advisory Council elected by RIR communities

12
Role of the AC

• ...is to be a catalyst in the policy process,
• not to develop policy,
• but to oversee and coordinate the policy
  development process facilitated by the RIRs
• Make recommendations to the ICANN board on
  addressing issues
• Elect three members of the ICANN Board of
  Directors

13
RIR Activities

• Address space management
• Registration
• Policy development
• Outreach

14
Address ManagementChallenges

• Address space depletion
• IPv4 address space is finite
• Historically, many wasteful allocations
• Routing chaos
• Legacy routing structure, router overload
• CIDR aggregation are now vital
• Inequitable management
• Unstructured and wasteful address space
  distribution

15
Address ManagementObjectives

• Conservation
• efficient use of resources
• allocation based on demonstrated need
• Aggregation
• Limiting growth of routing table
• provider-based addressing policies
• Registration
• Ensuring uniqueness
• Troubleshooting
• Fairness and Consistency
• In the interests of regional and global
  communities

16
Registration

• IPv4 and IPv6 Numbers Registration
• AS Number Registration
• Registration Call Center
• Reverse Delegation
• WHOIS Directory Service
• Routing Registry Service

17
IPv4 Allocation Rate in 2000
(1.28 /8)
(1.5 /8)
APNIC
RIPE NCC
ARIN
(2.0 /8)
18
IPv4 Unallocated

• Currently 38 of all IPv4 address space has not
  been allocated
• (Reserved by the IANA)

19
IPv6 Allocations

• Allocations since 1999
• A total of 75 IPv6 address blocks (/35s)
  allocated collectively
• APNIC 26
• ARIN 15
• RIPE NCC 34

20
Outreach

• Training and Education
• Registration help desk
• Standardized registration training programs
• Attendance at local (state) ISP association
  meetings
• Information dissemination
• News agencies
• Industry specific meetings (like the GSMNA)
• Government Advisory Committee to the ICANN

21
Policy Development

• Developed in open policy forums
• within industry self-regulatory framework
• with consensus of community
• Participation open to everyone
• Responsive policy development
• fair to all
• changing requirements of industry
• new technology (G3 phones, GPRS, cable)
• evolution of process
• Technical challenges
• high level of planning and expertise required
• meeting demands of a changing environment

Request Criteria for IPv4 Address Space (ISPs)

• ARINs Minimum Assignment Size is a /20
• Demonstrate Efficient Utilization of a /20 from
  Upstream
• Report reassignment information via SWIP or
  RWHOIS
• Share utilization information for Dial-up,
  Virtual Web Hosting,and like services
• Multi-homed Policy
• Demonstrate Efficient Utilization of a /21 and
  Renumber
• Use ISP Network Template to Request IP Addresses

27
Request Criteria for Additional IPv4 Addresses
(ISPs)

• Demonstrate Prior Allocations from ARIN 80
  Efficiently Utilized
• SWIP or RWHOIS server for reassignment
  information
• Internal utilization detail
• Adhere to any Agreed to Renumbering

  other public ASes in IPv4 default-free zone
• Must demonstrate production IPv6 within 12 months
  and either
• Must be IPv4 provider to 40 sites that merit /48
  IPv6 allocations or
• 3 months of 6bone pTLA experience in overall
  6-month 6bone

31
General Phase Criteria

  networks with sub-TLA IDs and either
• Requesting organization must have reassigned
  addresses from upstream providers to 40 SLA
  customer sites or
• Requesting organization must demonstrate a clear
  intent to provide IPv6 within 12 months

32
Request Criteria forAS Numbers

• Must demonstrate that routing policies are
  different from border gateway peers
• Multi-homed Site

  multi-homed, and must describe
