Global IPv6 Allocation and Assignment
Policies Presented by Richard Jimmerson Director
of Operations
December 19, 2000
Global IPv6 Summit in Japan

Overview

• Evolution of IPv6 Allocation Policy
• Initial IPv6 Allocation Architecture
• IPv6 Allocation Policy
• Registry Coordination
• Useful IPv6 Links

Evolution of IPv6 Allocation Policy

• IPv6 architecture evolved through IETF working
  groups
• 6bone was established to experiment with new IPv6
  technology
• RIRs co-authored a document to specify initial
  production IPv6 allocation policies
• In mid-1999, IANA approved the document and
  released the first group of production IPv6
  addresses (sub-TLAs) to the RIRs

Initial IPv6 AllocationArchitecture
Initial allocation size is a

• NLA Next Level Aggregation identifiere.g. next

• SLA Site Level Aggregation identifiere.g.
  network hierarchy within an organization (end
  site)

Global IPv6 Allocation Policy

• Bootstrap Phase
• Transitional and temporary
• Concludes
• After first 100 sub-TLA IDs (/29s) have been
  allocated worldwide, or
• After a RIR has allocated 60 sub-TLA IDs in their
  region
• General Phase

7
Bootstrap Phase Criteria

• BGP peering relationships with at least three
  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
  (NLA) IPv6 allocations or
• 3 months of 6bone pTLA experience and overall
  6-month 6bone participation

8
General Phase Criteria

1. BGP peering relationships with 3 other IPv6
   networks with sub-TLA IDs and either
2. Requesting organization must have reassigned
   addresses from upstream providers to 40 SLA
   customer sites or
3. Requesting organization must demonstrate a clear
   intent to provide IPv6 within 12 months

9
Registry Coordination

• The RIRs coordinate with each other in the
  review all IPv6 sub-TLA requests to ensure
• global consistency and
• accuracy
• RIRs are working together to establish IPv6
  reassignment policy
• APNIC and RIPE NCC communities have accepted the
  IAB/IESG recommendation
• ARIN community has established a working group to
  discuss the recommendationhttp//www.arin.net/an
  nouncements/ipv6_wg.html
