I do not support this proposal, on the basis that it seems its intent is to extend the scope of the APNIC whois database well beyond its traditional scope.

I believe the purpose of the APNIC database is to assert the authorisation of an assignee to use specified IP addresses, for purposes such as route validations or route dispute resolutions. The database only relates to the network layer identifiers that APNIC is chartered to administrate (i.e. IP addresses and AS numbers).

APNIC does not administrate or register the use of transport-layer identifiers (TCP or UDP ports); APNIC does not have the charter to state that certain TCP/UDP ports have been duly assigned and provide any authority for their use. Also, standard Internet routing does not function on the basis of TCP/UDP ports.

I therefore feel that any recording of any TCP/UDP port assignments would be outside of the scope of APNIC's business.

    First, I am sincerely hoping that CGN is an extremely temporary
    situation. I’m not sure
    it should be worth the effort to recode the registry to support it.

    Second, I’m wondering if there’s any real advantage to having this
    level of detail on
    residential subscribers that don’t even get full addresses, since
    we don’t really tend
    to have it for single-address subscribers now.

    IMHO, best to just let each ISP keep this information for
    themselves as the relevant contact
    for abuse and such is usually the ISP and not the residential user
    anyway.

    Dear Colleagues,

    And, here is prop-115. No comment has not been made for this
    proposal.

    If reached consensus, it may needs significant change for whois
    database.
    I just reviewed implementation impact assessment by the Secretariat,
    and it says it might take more than 6 months.
    I think same thing will happen for whois database of each NIRs.
    And if your company have a system linked with APNIC/NIR whois
    database, it will be impacted also.

    As Chair, I'm always very neutral for each proposal, including
    prop-115.
    However, I would like to emphasis prop-115 should be discussed
    more widely as it has wide impact.
    It is very appreciated if you will express your views.

                 whois DB

        1. Problem statement
        --------------------

        Recently, there are some cases need to get IP address assignment
        information in more detail to specify user IP address.

        With out this information, operators cannot filter out specific
        address range, and it might lead to 'over-filter' (i.e. filtering
        whole ISP's address range).

        For example:

        1) 'Port' range information in IPv4

          ISPs are using 'CGN' or other kinds of IPv4 address sharing
          technology with assignment of IP address and specified port
          range to their users.

          In this case, port information is necessary to specify one
        user.

          ex) 192.0.2.24/32 <http://192.0.2.24/32> 1-256 is for HomeA
        192.0.2.24/32 <http://192.0.2.24/32> 257-511 is for HomeB

          or 192.0.2.0/24 <http://192.0.2.0/24> 1-65536 is shared
        address of ISP-X
          minimum size is /32

        2) address assignment size information in IPv6

         The IPv6 address assignment size may be different from ISP to
         ISP, and address ranges in one ISP. Address assignment prefix
         size will be necessary.

         ex) 2001:db8:1::0/56 is for HomeA
             2001:db8:1:1::0/48 is for HomeB

             or 2001:db8:1::/36's minimum size is /56


        2. Objective of policy change
        -----------------------------

        Lots of operators look a record when harmful behavior coming to
        their network to identify its IP address confirming it can be
        filtered or not.

        The goal is providing more specific information to support these
        actions.


        3. Situation in other regions
        -----------------------------

        No same regulation/discussion can be seen in other regions.


        4. Proposed policy solution
        ---------------------------

        Provide accurate filtering information generated from whois DB.

        For IPv4, propose to add 'port range' information to IP address
        entry.

        For IPv6, propose to provide 'assignment prefix size' information
        for specific IPv6 address.


        5. Advantages / Disadvantages
        -----------------------------

        Advantages:

         - operators can set filtering by IP address based on correct
        assignment
         information base.

         - users who share same address space can be avoid to be
        including bulk
         filtering.

        Disadvantages:

         - registration rule will move to more strict manner.

         - strict watch and control in registration of database records.

         - additional record or option will be considered.

         - privilege for withdrawing detailed information will be set
        for these
         records.


        6. Impact on APNIC
        ------------------

        This might be beyond the scope of using whois DB.


        7. Other Consideration
        ----------------------

        For the security reason, this detailed records may be able to see
        only by operators.(some kind of user control/privilege setting is
        needed)

        For hosting services, /32 in IPv4 and /128 in IPv6 registration
        should be discussed based on its operability and possibility.
        But a
        harmful activities to filter by IP addresses are coming from
        hosting
        services as well. Here it seemed to be some demands.
