(e) Colins is right, the IPv6 PA Allocation policy doesn't address
the
issue of "not-complying-with-the-policy". So in such a scenario,
AfriNIC has no mandate to reclaim the used space and as you put it,
"the Allocation(s) are auto-magically renewed". This would be a good
time for the community to revise this policy. Sad that any changes
may
only be effected sometime in May next year :-(.
The " Policy for IPv6 PI Assignment for End-Sites " reads in part:
"... The 'end-site' must show a plan to use and announce the IPv6
provider independent address space within twelve (12) months. After
that period, if not announced, the assigned IPv6 PI address space
should be reclaimed and returned to the free pool by AfriNIC.... "
Currently - if AfriNIC was to reclaim the /32, as there is
currently no
fee involved - it can immediately be re-issued again. No financial
penalties. Maybe thats not right?
I'd love all sorts of schemes to get people to...
(i) get themselves address space
(ii) announce the space
(ii) deploy services that use the space
I don't think "Name and Shame" is the right way to get people to do
this
though.
I'd also like to see something that encourages people to make sure
that
/48 PI address space is routable :-)
This may call for a change in routing policy. That's why it's
important for all to participate during the PDP. The policy (PI IPv6
for end-sites) allows for the assignment of /48 blocks, whether or
not operators are ready to adjust their filters to accommodate this
is the big question.
