Re: [sig-policy] New version of prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

2015-03-04 Thread Owen DeLong
Opposed as written.

Vague wording which basically says that the secretariat can decide policy on a 
case-by-case
basis is antithetical to an informed multi-stakeholder community consensus 
policy development
process.

 1. Problem statement
 -
 
 The current ASN assignment policy states two eligibility criteria
 and that both criteria should be fulfilled in order to obtain an
 ASN. The policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e.
 multi-homing and clearly defined single routing policy must be met
 simultaneously, this has created much confusion in interpreting the
 policy.
 
 As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information
 to get the ASN or barred themselves from applying where they still
 have a valid justification for obtaining an ASN.
 
 
 2. Objective of policy change
 --
 
 In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
 modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN
 assignment by providing alternate criteria to obtaining an ASN.
 
 
 3. Situation in other regions
 
 
 ARIN:
 It is not mandatory but optional to be multi-homed in order get ASN
 
 RIPE:
 Policy to remove multi-homing requirement is currently in discussion
 and the current phase ends 12 February 2015 (awaiting Chair 
 decision)
 
 Policy - https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 
 https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03
 
 LACNIC:
 Only inter-connect is mandatory not multi-homing
 
 AFRINIC:
 It is mandatory to be multi-homed in order to get ASN.
 
 
 4. Proposed policy solution
 ---
 
 An organization is eligible for an ASN assignment if:
 
  - they are currently multi-homed OR
 
  - meet one of the other criteria in the guidelines managed by the 
APNIC Secretariat
 
 
 5. Advantages / Disadvantages
 -
 
 Advantages:
 
 By adding the additional criteria of Guidelines managed by APNIC
 Secretariat, this would enable the Secretariat to make decisions
 based on common or rare use cases, but that may still be a valid
 request.
 
 Disadvantages:
 
 It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain
 ASN’s more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s
 in the region.  Given the relative ease of obtaining an ASN with
 ‘work around’ methods, we do not perceive this will actually have
 any effect.
 
 
 
 6. Impact on resource holders
 ---
 
 No impact on existing resource holders.
 
 
 
 Proposed Draft Guidelines
 (to be created as a numbered document by APNIC)
 
 
 The below are example of guidelines that could be considered for
 alternate needs justification.
 
 The intention to multi-home in the future
 
 The applicant is participating in elastic fabrics where the 
 requirements to connect to ‘on demand’ service providers may require
 ASN/BGP connectivity
 
 Regional limitation of obtaining multi-homing connectivity in the
 ‘immediate’ term, but want to design their networks for this capability
 
 Have a single unique routing policy different to their upstream, but yet
 are single-homed

In addition to Owen's point, I also wonder about this:

AND

- advertise the prefixes within 6 months

Is there a process in place which actually checks this?

If so, will APNIC actually pull back /24 allocations which aren't
advertised within 6 months?
If not - why even include it?

Robert

 prop-113-v002: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria
 -

 Proposer:   Aftab Siddiqui
   aftab.siddi...@gmail.com

   Skeeve Stevens
   ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


 1. Problem statement
 -

 The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple
 eligibility criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be
 eligible to receive IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates
 that “an organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed
 with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multi-home
 within one month” (section 3.3).

 The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if
 there is no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even
 when there is only one upstream provider available, this has created
 much confusion in interpreting this policy.

 As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect
 or fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or
 barred themselves from applying.


 2. Objective of policy change
 --

 In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
 modify the text of section 3.3.


 3. Situation in other regions
 

 ARIN:
 There is no multi-homing requirement

 RIPE:
 There is no multi-homing requirement.

 LACNIC:
 Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect.

 AFRINIC:
 There is no multi-homing requirement.


 4. Proposed policy solution
 

 Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations

 An organization is eligible if:

 - it is currently multi-homed

 OR,

 - currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24,

 AND

 - intends to be multi-homed

 OR,

 - intends to be multi-homed

 AND

 - advertise the prefixes within 6 months



 5. Advantages / Disadvantages
 --

 Advantages:

 Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small
 delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as
 determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in
 Section 3.3.

 Disadvantages:

 There is no known disadvantage of this proposal.


 6. Impact on resource holders
 -

 No impact on existing resource holders.

I don’t feel the need for every use case to be set in stone, but I do think 
that there are better ways to address this.

Is there any reason that adding the following to the existing policy would be 
unacceptable to you?

…
or an organization which has received an assignment or allocation from APNIC 
and has not previously obtained an ASN may obtain one ASN upon request for 
purposes of setting up peering for their network with one or more other other 
autonomous systems.


Why would that not suffice?

Owen,

It just feels like nitpicking and moving chairs around.  I actually trust
the Secretariat to do the right thing when allocating resources.  We're
also talking about a resource where there are over 4.1 billion ASN's still
available... not that it should be a justification to wastage, but it is
useful for context.

The APNIC stats are:

or there because there has been an innovation in the way networks are

 --

 Proposer: Aftab Siddiqui

Skeeve Stevens
ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


 1. Problem statement
 -

 The current ASN assignment policy states two eligibility criteria
 and that both criteria should be fulfilled in order to obtain an
 ASN. The policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e.
 multi-homing and clearly defined single routing policy must be met
 simultaneously, this has created much confusion in interpreting the
 policy.

 As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information
 to get the ASN or barred themselves from applying where they still
 have a valid justification for obtaining an ASN.

[sig-policy] New version of prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria

Dear SIG members

A new version of the proposal “prop-113: Modification in the IPv4
eligibility criteria has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.

prop-113-v002: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria
-

Proposer:   Aftab Siddiqui
  aftab.siddi...@gmail.com

  Skeeve Stevens
  ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


1. Problem statement
-

The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple
eligibility criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be
eligible to receive IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates
that “an organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed
with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multi-home
within one month” (section 3.3).

The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if
there is no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even
when there is only one upstream provider available, this has created
much confusion in interpreting this policy.

As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect
or fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or
barred themselves from applying.


2. Objective of policy change
--

In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
modify the text of section 3.3.


3. Situation in other regions


ARIN:
There is no multi-homing requirement

RIPE:
There is no multi-homing requirement.

LACNIC:
Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect.

AFRINIC:
There is no multi-homing requirement.


4. Proposed policy solution


Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations

An organization is eligible if:

- it is currently multi-homed

OR,

- currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24,

AND

- intends to be multi-homed

OR,

- intends to be multi-homed

AND

- advertise the prefixes within 6 months



5. Advantages / Disadvantages
--

Advantages:

Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small
delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as
determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in
Section 3.3.

Disadvantages:

There is no known disadvantage of this proposal.


6. Impact on resource holders
-

No impact on existing resource holders.

Simply advertising a network doesn’t mean you need the addresses or that you’re 
actually using them in an operational network.

It just means you typed in a BGP anchor statement.

Owen,

That is almost, but not quite ok.

There may be cases where you have the same reason to do this for a second
or third ASN.

Say I need one for an isolated network in HK, or NZ, or KH with a
completely separate routing policy?

The same criteria should apply for the first and 10th?

- intend to multi-home in the future




This policy can be reviewed on an annual basis for any impact on the number
of allocations of ASN and if there has been any detrimental effect.

prop-114-v003: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

1. Problem statement



   The current ASN assignment policy states two eligibility criteria and
that both criteria should be fulfilled in order to obtain an ASN. The
policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e. multi-homing and clearly
defined single routing policy must be met simultaneously, this has created
much confusion in interpreting the policy.

   As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information to
get the ASN or barred themselves from applying where they still have a
valid justification for obtaining an ASN.


2. Objective of policy change

-

   In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN assignment by
providing alternate criteria to obtaining an ASN.


3. Situation in other regions

-

ARIN:

It is not mandatory but optional to be multi-homed in order get ASN

RIPE:

Policy to remove multi-homing requirement is currently in discussion and
the current phase ends 12 February 2015 (awaiting Chair decision)

   Policy - https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03

LACNIC:

Only inter-connect is mandatory not multi-homing

AFRINIC:

It is mandatory to be multi-homed in order to get ASN.


4. Proposed policy solution

---

An organisation is eligible for an ASN assignment if:

- they are currently multi-homed OR

- you have been previous allocated provider independent address space
by APNIC AND


- intend to multi-home in the future




5. Advantages / Disadvantages

-

Advantages:

By adding the additional criteria of Guidelines managed by APNIC
Secretariat, this would enable the Secretariat to make decisions based on
common or rare use cases, but that may still be a valid request.


Disadvantages:

It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain ASN’s
more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s in the
region.  Given the relative ease of obtaining an ASN with ‘work around’
methods, we do not perceive this will actually have any effect.


6. Impact on resource holders

-

No impact on existing resource holders.

[sig-policy] Updated Text - Prop-113v003

2015-03-04 Thread Skeeve Stevens
The only addition to this text was the clarification of demonstrated need.
It is not being removed and will remain in place as below.

Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate
that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and
50% within one year.

prop-113-v003: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria



Proposer:  Aftab Siddiqui

  aftab.siddi...@gmail.com

  Skeeve Stevens

  ske...@eintellegonetworks.com


1. Problem statement



The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple eligibility
criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be eligible to receive
IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates that “an organization is
eligible if it is currently multi-homed with provider-based addresses, or
demonstrates a plan to multi-home within one month” (section 3.3).

The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if there is
no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even when there is only
one upstream provider available, this has created much confusion in
interpreting this policy.

As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect or
fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or barred
themselves from applying.


2. Objective of policy change

-

In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to modify
the text of section 3.3.


3. Situation in other regions

-

ARIN:

There is no multi-homing requirement

RIPE:

There is no multi-homing requirement.

LACNIC:

Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect.

AFRINIC:

There is no multi-homing requirement.


4. Proposed policy solution

---



Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations

An organization is eligible if:


   -

   it is currently multi-homed OR



   -

   currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24, AND
   intends to be multi-homed OR



   -

   intends to be multi-homed


AND


   -

   advertise the prefixes within 6 months


Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate
that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and
50% within one year.

5. Advantages / Disadvantages

-

Advantages:

Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small
delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as
determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in Section
3.3.


Disadvantages:

There is no known disadvantage of this proposal.


6. Impact on resource holders

-

No impact on existing resource holders.
