That's not what they tell me every time I try to apply - they ask for all sorts of "justification" and network usage maps, etc. I have tried 3 times and just get the run-around. -----Original Message----- From: William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2024 15:31 To: John Palmer <nanog2@adns.net> Cc: NANOG mailing list <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: N92 Keynote: APNIC's Geoff Huston - "Whatever Happened to IPv6?" + More On Thu, Aug 15, 2024 at 1:21 PM John Palmer <nanog2@adns.net> wrote:
What happened? ARIN insists on you signing away your rights to your PI legacy IPV4 space in order to get any allocation of IPV6 space.
Hi John, That is not the case. ARIN does this if you want IRR or RPKI for your legacy IPv4 space (which is not cool), but IPv6 is separate. The contract you sign for IPv6 only applies to your IPv6 registration.
PI holders should get an automatic assignment of IPV6 space if they request it.
They do. IIRC, it's explicitly in the NRPM that having ARIN-issued IPv4 space results automatically approves the requestor for the minimum allocation. The surrounding rules make it pretty trivial to get the next nibble up from the minimum allocation if you want it. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
