Dear colleagues,
Policy proposal 2019-05, "Revised IPv4 assignment policy for IXPs" is
now in the Review Phase.
This proposal aims to increase the reserved IPv4 pool for IXPs to a /15
and finetune assignment criteria.
The proposal has been updated following the last round of discussion and
is now at version v2.0. Some of the changes made to version v1.0 include:
- The maximum assignment size to IXPs remains /22
- Defines that IPv4 ranges smaller than /24 will be added to the IXP pool
The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this latest proposal
version to support the community’s discussion. You can find the full
proposal and impact analysis at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-05
And the draft documents at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-05/draft
As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this
four week Review Phase is to continue discussion of the proposal, taking
the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the full draft
RIPE Policy Document.
At the end of the Review Phase, the Working Group (WG) Chairs will
determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus. It is therefore
important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of
your input from the previous phase.
We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft
document and send any comments to <[email protected]> before 6
September 2019.
Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC
