Internet Number Resources

•  Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses – 2 types: IPv4 & IPv6 – Uniquely identifies a device on a network – Moves info on the Internet

•  Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) – Used by network operators – Controls routing within networks – Exchanges routing info among ISPs

2

History of the Internet Protocol •  Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)

–  Developed for the original Internet (ARPANET) in 1978 –  4 billion addresses –  Deployed globally & well entrenched –  Allocated based on documented need

•  Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) –  Design began in 1993 when IETF forecasts showed IPv4

depletion between 2010 and 2017 –  340 undecillion addresses –  Completed, tested, and available since 1999 –  Used and managed similar to IPv4

ARIN IPv4 Depletion

ARIN reached a last /8 on 23 April 2014

4

Triggering Final Phase of IPv4 Countdown Plan

ARIN’s IPv4 Inventory ARIN still has a few IPv4 addresses remaining

Qualifying for an Autonomous System Number (ASN)

•  Confirm multi-homing within 30 days

•  Provide verification of connectivity with two or more ISPs – Signed connectivity agreement – Recent bill/invoice

6

Internet Service Provider (ISP) vs End-user

•  ISP – Assigns address space to the users of the

network services it provides – Other ISPs and end-users are customers

•  End-user –  Receives assignments of IP addresses

exclusively for use in own operational networks

7

Connections to ISPs

8

You are single-homed if you have 1 ISP

You are multi-homed if you have 2+ ISPs

Qualifying for IPv4 as an ISP •  Multi-homed – Two /24s reassigned to you – Data to show 2 /24s efficiently used

•  Single-homed – 16 /24s reassigned to you – Data to show 16 /24s efficiently used

•  Immediate need

9

Typically Requested IPv4 ISP Data

•  Mapping of static IP addresses/subnets to customer names – May include customer justification

•  List of all dynamic pools with prefix/range assigned, area served, utilization percentage

•  Mapping of internal subnets with description and # IPs used

10

Three-month Supply Calculation •  Justified need, not solely predicted

growth •  Utilization rate of last allocation •  Immediate need for exceptional

circumstances

11

Qualifying for IPv4 as an End-user •  Multi-homed – 64 IP addresses used immediately – 128 IP addresses used within one year

•  Single-homed – 1,024 IP addresses used immediately – 2,048 IP addresses used within one year

12

Typically Requested IPv4 End-user Data

•  Subnet mapping showing each subnet to be created and for each subnet – Description of its purpose – # IPs used within 30 days – # IPs used within one year

13

Qualifying for IPv6 as an ISP •  Have a previous v4 allocation from

ARIN •  Intend to multi-home •  Provide a technical justification which

details at least 50 assignments made within five years

14

Typically Requested IPv6 ISP Data •  If requesting more than a /32,

a spreadsheet/text file with – # of serving sites (PoPs, datacenters) – # of customers served by largest – Block size to be assigned (/48 typical)

15

Qualifying for IPv6 as an End-user •  Have a v4 direct assignment •  Intend to multi-home •  2000 IPv6 addresses or 200 IPv6 subnets

used within a year •  Technical justification as to why

provider-assigned IPs are unsuitable

16

Typically Requested IPv6 End User Data •  List of sites in your network – Site = distinct geographic location – Street address for each

•  Campus may count as multiple sites – Technical justification showing how

they’re configured like geographically separate sites

Qualification for Address Space Based on ARIN Policies

19

•  Open –  Developed in open forum –  Anyone can participate

•  Transparent –  All aspects documented and available online

•  Policy process, meetings, and policies

•  Bottom-up –  Policies developed by the community –  Staff implements, but does not make policy

Policies at ARIN

20

•  Policy Development Process (PDP) – Describes the process for making policies

in the ARIN region •  https://www.arin.net/policy/pdp.html

•  Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) – ARIN’s Policy Document

•  http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html
