About the ARIN Community Grant Program

The ARIN Community Grant Program provides financial grants in support of 
operational and research projects that improve the overall Internet industry 
and Internet user environment that advance ARIN’s mission and broadly benefit 
the Internet community within the ARIN region. Projects must fit into one or 
more of these four broad categories:

- Internet technical improvements that promote and facilitate the 
expansion, development, and growth of the infrastructure of the Internet 
consistent with the public interest

-  Registry processes and technology improvements that help maintain a 
globally consistent and highly usable Internet Number Registry system

-  Informational outreach that advances the Internet on topics such as, but 
not limited to: IPv6 deployment, Internet research, and Internet governance

-  Research related to ARIN’s mission and operations

For 2022, the ARIN Board of Trustees has approved a total expenditure of up 
to $60,000 (USD) for grants of varying amounts, starting at $1,000 to $20,000 
(USD) and based on project need.

We encourage all applicants to clearly demonstrate how projects meet 
eligibility guidelines and selection criteria through the application form to 
improve chances of selection.

ARIN looks forward to funding important projects through the ARIN Community 
Grant Program in 2022.

Regards,

American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)

Re: FCC proposes higher speed goals (100/20 Mbps) for USF providers

[Kord Martin]

   I don’t think game manufacturers expand their games based on
   available download bandwidth. I think that games have gotten richer
   and the graphics environments and capabilities have improved and
   content more expansive to a point where yes, games are several
   BluRays worth of download now instead of being shipped on multiple
   discs.

When I was a rural DSL customer, my problem wasn't necessarily with the 
size of the games, but rather that you'd have to re-download the entire 
game every week. It would take almost an entire week to download a game, 
then by time it's finally updated they've updated a tree texture and you 
need to download the whole game again. I understand why this happens but 
customers who didn't have access to broadband just got the shaft.


I still have a lot of friends who don't have access to broadband and 
simply can't play modern games because of the always-online requirement 
and constant, huge updates.


   If the target is a non-fiber service, then 100/20 might make sense.
   If Fiber is being installed, then it’s hard to find a rationale for
   1Gbps being more expensive than any lower capacity.

The question I have for other operators: if you have a group of 
customers that subscribe to a 100Mb service, and all of them suddenly 
switched to a 1Gb service, would you expect an increase in overall 
bandwidth usage?


I've been looking around for some other comments on bandwidth trends but 
I don't know how much of that would/should be confidential based on 
privacy or trade secret.

Dear John:

0) The below message just popped up in my InBox. And, it appears that 
there has not been any follow-up comments.


1) How about have a look at our work, (URL below), in case you have not 
come across? We propose a very specific way of making use of the 240/4 
netblock. There are a couple manifestations from this approach that will 
enhance the Internet operations. In a sense, EzIP is a ready-to-go 
example that will benefit from the "IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project" 
efforts that Mr. Gilmore was referring to.

Your comments and thoughts will be much appreciated.

The draft touches on IANA considerations, but this seems inadequate to 
make any more progress and gain wider acceptance. It seems to me there 
has been compelling arguments made about the ability to rx, tx, and 
relay packets with these addresses, but the real challenge remains, 
how should they be allocated? The document should probably request 
that they be changed from reserved to experimental explicitly. 
Suggesting the IETF/IANA just figure out what to do with them later 
seems unsatisfying. Perhaps the equivalent of an IAB-style workshop 
report or position paper that goes into potential allocation choices 
and effects in detail is worthwhile? I'd imagine you'd get lots of 
interesting presentations on a possible allocation strategies and 
challenges if you decide to organize something like this. I'd like to 
see some options for the IANA/IETF. Let's see someone dissect what if 
anything RIRs should get and what the effect of different policies for 
the new blocks might be. Let's hear about some interesting new 
special-use ideas. I'd love to see someone suggest a spectrum-like 
auction to the highest bidder and get doused with rotten fruit... etc 
:-) John
