[ipv6-wg] RIPE Policy vs IETF RFC

Hi Nathalie,

If it helps, the survey (http://survey.consulintel.es/index.php/175122) responses indicate right now (from 703 responses, about 200 from RIPE, missing responses from Russia that has got very few), only 76 ISPs providing /64, the rest is shared almost 50/50 among /48 and /56.

I will try to get responses from Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Korea, China and India, which I guess have some deployment and almost didn’t responded at the time being.

Then at the end of June, I will “clean” up duplicate responses (some times several folks respond from the same ISP).

Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: [ipv6-wg] RIPE Policy vs IETF RFC

>Dear colleagues,
>
>As you might know, the current IPv6 policy states very clear that assignments to customers must be a minimum of a /64.
>
>5.4.1. Assignment address space size
>
>End Users are assigned an End Site assignment from their LIR or ISP. The size of the assignment is a local decision for the LIR or ISP to make, using a minimum value of a /64 (only one subnet is anticipated for the End Site).

>On the other hand, a while ago, RFC7608 (BCP198) was published, stating:
>
>2.  Recommendation
>   IPv6 implementations MUST conform to the rules specified in
>   Section 5.1 of [RFC4632].
>
>   Decision-making processes for forwarding MUST NOT restrict the length
>   of IPv6 prefixes by design.  In particular, forwarding processes MUST
>   be designed to process prefixes of any length up to /128, by
>   increments of 1.
>
>In practice, this means that the RFC suggests that a customer can get an IPv6 assignment of any size, while the RIPE policy says the minimum should be a /64.
>I’m interested to know what the community thinks about this and if alignment between this RFC and the RIPE policy is needed.
