PROPOSAL DATA:
Policy Proposal Title: Modifications to the IPv6 Prefix Initial
Allocation Policy
Policy Proposal Type: LACNIC
Id (if exist): LAC‐2007‐01
Version: 2.1

Proposal Summary: The proposal consists of eliminating item 4.5.1.1.c
of the IPv6 Policy.
4.5.1 Initial Allocation
4.5.1.1 Initial Allocation Criteria
c) Announce a single block in the Internet inter‐domain routing
system, aggregating
the total IPv6 address allocation received, within a period not longer
than 12 months.

The proposed text is as follows:
c) Announce the allocated block in the Internet inter‐domain routing
system, with the
minimum possible level of disaggregation, within a period no longer
than 12 months.

Rationale: The problem arises when an RIR allocates a /28 prefix (for
example) to an ISP which has
Internet links with multiple providers (multi-provider multi‐homing)
using BGP publications.

According to LACNIC’s policy (and that of most of the other RIRs), the
ISP must advertise the
/28 through all links without the possibility of disaggregation. The
problem with this
policy is that by doing this the ISP looses control of the traffic,
limiting the capacity to distribute
the traffic over the different links, even if traffic engineering
and/or BGP community
management techniques are used.

A /28 prefix may have a large amount of associated incoming traffic,
so I believe that policy
should allow disaggregating (subnets) the prefix or at least not to
prohibit it by policy.

In general terms, it is my opinion that an IP address block allocation
policy may recommend or
request that those who receive an allocation should optimize the way
in which the block is
announced in order to reduce the impact on global “routing tables” to
a minimum, but in no
case should a specific way of announcing be a requirement for
receiving an allocation.

I believe that this type of policies involving technical restrictions
should be dealt with by
criteria and agreements (based on policies or recommendations of the
IETF or other relevant
organizations) between ISPs and/or Carriers (Tier 1), but not with
organizations such as the
RIRs.


Proposal Text: Original text:
4.5.1 Initial Allocation
4.5.1.1 Initial Allocation Criteria
To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an
organization must:
c) Announce a single block in the Internet inter‐domain routing
system, aggregating
the total IPv6 address allocation received, within a period not longer than
12 months.

Proposed text:
c) Announce the allocated block in the Internet inter‐domain routing
system, with the
minimum possible level of disaggregation, within a period no longer
than 12 months.
