If two parties decide to start an IXP, and get a switch, rather than just
do private peering, it's really hard to get to three if two don't count.
Still, one party or the other *ought* to have a /28 around, and renumbering
for two parties isn't that hard.
I propose a compromise: three parties (a route server would count) for IPv4
micro-allocation,
I think I like this idea.
Looking at the current language it says "other participants (minimum of
two total)", to be honest I find this language a little ambiguous, I
could interpret that as simply two participants, two participants plus
the exchange, or two participants plus the participant making the request.
I think a requirement of three registered ASNs peering, one of which
could be a route server for the exchange, not including any private use
ASNs, its an Internet Exchange not a private exchange. In my opinion
two participant ASNs plus a route server ASN or there participant ASNs
are sufficiently differentiable from private peering. However, just
simply two participant ASNs is insufficiently differentiable from
private peering.
but an IPv6 micro-allocation can acquired for free if any
of the parties have an existing RSA.
Fees aren't a policy issue, we could recommend to the board that IPv6
micro-allocations to IXPs that already have resources be free. But it
should not be written into a policy statement.
Thanks.
