The proposal "prop-100 National IP Address Plan - Allocation of
country-wide IP address blocks " has been  sent to the Policy SIG for
review. It will be presented at the Policy SIG at APNIC 32 in Busan,
Korea, Sunday, 28 August until Thursday, 1 September 2011.
We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list
before the meeting.
The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an
important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to
express your views on the proposal:
      - Do you support or oppose this proposal?
      - Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so,
        tell the community about your situation.
      - Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal?
      - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?
      - What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more
        effective?

prop-100-v001: National IP Address Plan - Allocation of country-wide IP
                address blocks

1. Introduction
---------------
Right now IPv6 addresses are being allocated by APNIC to individual
telecom Service Providers/internet service providers and other
organisations just like allocation of IPv4 addresses in which telecom
Service Providers/internet service providers and other organisations
specially in India are not having contiguous IP address blocks.
This causes inefficiencies in routing table as well as creating problems
to Indian law enforcement agencies in tracing out the IP address of the
end users.
So taking cue from this problem Government of India (Department of
Telecommunications) set up a committee for formulation of the National
IPv6 address policy. This committee is a 15 members body having national
and international members from all stakeholders. In the 2nd meeting of
the committee held on 18th July 2011 in New Delhi members were of the
opinion that India as a whole should ask for a bigger block of IPv6
address from APNIC.
However the exact requirement of this block will be worked out on the
basis of IPv6 address allocated to various organisations such as telecom
Service Providers/internet service providers and other organisations and
new entrants like other central Government departments, State Government
departments, public sector units, universalities, colleges, hospitals
and other sectors in the country and their future requirement of IP
addresses for next 20 years at least (as Ipv6 addresses are not going to
be exhausted in these years).
As right now APNIC policy does not allow address block to be allocated
country wise so through this paper, we are seeking a change in the
policy for allocation of IPv6 address country wise rather than
individual organisations wise.
2. Summary of current problem
-----------------------------
Right now IP addresses are being allocated to the individual
organizations and for their future requirements only IP address block
for 1 year (approx) is being kept reserved, this is as per prevailing
practices of allocation of IPv4 addresses. so again
     1. Same problem of fragmented Addresses will be there as is in case
        of IPv4 Addresses, if contiguous addresses are not allocated to
        organisations and in turn to geographical locations.
     2. In the current scenario it is very difficult for law enforcing
        agencies to identify miscreants timely.
3. Situation in other RIRs
--------------------------
Countries in other RIRs would be having same problems.
4. Details of the proposal
--------------------------
While in case of IPv6 Addresses there is huge availability of IP
addresses so in India we want to have one big block of IPv6 Addresses
say e.g./17 wanted to be reserved for us and allocated to Indian NIR
when it becomes operational, this Address space will take care of
requirement of all TSPs/ISPs industries and other organizations.
The requirement of this block will be worked out on the basis of IPv6
address allocated to various organisations such as telecom Service
Providers/internet service providers and other organisations and new
entrants like other central Government departments, State Government
departments, public sector units, universalities, colleges, hospitals
and other sectors in the country and their future requirement of IP
addresses for next 20 years at least (as Ipv6 addresses are not going to
be exhausted in these years).
5.  Advantages and disadvantages of the proposal
------------------------------------------------
Advantages:
     1.In addition to effective and efficient routing table all
       economies will be in a position to plan their IP address
       requirement on long term basis and accordingly they can reflect
       their requirement and get the suitable address block allocated
       either to their NIRs or get their block reserved in the APNIC.
       This would avoid discrepancies in address allocation country
       wise as happened in the case of IPv4 address allocation where
       most of the developing geographies could not get their due
       share, as in the case of India, where we are having only 18.5
       million IPv4 addresses for population of 1.2 billion and more
       than 360 million data users.
     2. Workload of RIRs would come down drastically and they will be
        able to concentrate on more productive job compared to this
        routine job.
Disadvantages:
     No disadvantage appears to be there right now.
6. Effect on APNIC Members
--------------------------
All APNIC members will get advantage out of the bigger address block
allocated to them.
7. Effect on NIRs
-----------------
NIRs can allocate IP addresses to individual member in its geographical
area as per their actual/focused plans.
