I think that 'open' in the document right now, means 'we are open about the policy for joining', not 'the exchange is open to anyone to join'. Is this the feeling ? If so, the policy should read "there must be a clear and documented policy for others to join", rather than a removal of the requirement for there to be a policy ? Now that IPv6 PI is available to all networks, in addition to Internet Exchange Points, perhaps we do not need to have a special policy for IXPs at all, but I see possible future value in IXPs sitting inside 2001:7f8/32, so I think it should remain.

My memory of the intention was that the exchange should be open to new members who could meet a set of technical requirements documented in a corporate policy. The kind of requirements we anticipated were things like: - 24/7 NOC - Assigned a unique AS Number - Assigned or allocated address space - Routing policy published in an IRR database It was not intended that the requirements be onerous. The goal was to make sure that membership was available to network operators in general rather than being available to an elite clique.

Well, from what I recall at that time, people were afraid that this would become a "cheap way to get IPv6 PI" (which wasn't otherwise available yet) - just find two friends with an AS number, declare yourself an IXP, and get your prefix. Nowadays, IPv6 PI exists, and the IXP landscape has changed as well - which is why I want to re-open the discussion "how should the IPv6 IXP policy look like?" at the next RIPE meeting's address policy WG meeting. Input from the IXP folks is more than welcome, of course.

I haven't been involved in this discussion, but just to bring an outside perspective into it.. Why should an exchange run a 24x7 NOC or not be entitled to restrict who can peer over it? I realise most European exchanges are mutual (and I hope it stays that way), but we shouldn't be making it more difficult for someone to either start an exchange nor restrict their ability to run it. Having IRR registered routes is far more important than how a business wants to run its internal affairs. Regards, Sebastien.

I think I may not have been clear. The requirements I listed above (as examples only) were the kind of thing I expected exchanges to require of prospective members. Of course, an exchange might decide that 24/7 NOC isn't sufficiently important to be a requirement but as long as its policy didn't impose it on some (potential) members but not others that would be fine. The language was written at a time where there was no policy allowing IPv6 PI space and there was a concern that IXP prefixes might be seen as an alternative. But now there is an IPv6 PI policy it makes sense to revisit the language and make it less onerous if it is causing problems for groups starting new IXPs. I've read the proposed change and it seems reasonable to me but I'm certainly not an IXP expert.

The definition of an Exchange goes back to a discussion in June 2001. http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/eix-wg/2001/msg00029.html The intention of the "clear and open" was to make sure that the rules to join the exchange were there for everyone, whatever the rules were. Wether you needed an AS number or the existing membership had to vote for new members to join or whatever. As long as this was written down somewhere for everyone to take notice of. As far as I am concerned the definition is clear and should not have been an obstacle for denying IPv6 address space to an Exchange. However if leaving out the word "open" as proposed in the change makes applying the policy less sensitive to the arbitrary ruling of a hostmaster it makes sense to do so. - Henk Steenman From timothy at ripe.net Tue Oct 26 11:40:57 2010 From: timothy at ripe.net (Timothy Lowe) Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:40:57 +0200 Subject: [eix-wg] Re: [address-policy-wg] 2010-07 New Policy Proposal (Ambiguity cleanup on IPv6 Address Space Policy for IXP) In-Reply-To: <1A1F738F-D138-44A0-A64B-ACC509FCB50C@icann.org> References: <20101019150022.8FA4B6A005@postboy.ripe.net> <3F9A4E33-8333-4CC8-A191-73FF8588E72C@nosignal.org> <20101025141625.GQ32268@Space.Net> <1A1F738F-D138-44A0-A64B-ACC509FCB50C@icann.org> Message-ID: Hello, Yes as I recall the intention of that point was that the IXP be open to all who wished to join.

On the question at hand, the RIPE NCC's interpretation of the word "open" has caused a lot of trouble. It would probably be better to remove it rather than keep it. >From the point of view of keeping the rules short and sweet, I would see value in scrapping both RIPE-233 (ipv6 for root servers) and RIPE-451 (ipv6 for IXPs), and take their essence into the "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy" policy document. It would certainly be possible to note that the RIPE NCC may assign IXPs space from certain netblocks. But in the general case, duplication of policy documents is not useful.

As long as it's one address per customer out of a shared block it's allowed as being infrastructure. What you are not allowed to do is to assign a /64 to each customer, but I don't see a reason for an IXP to do that anyway.
