+Network Working Group C. Topolcic
+Request for Comments: 1367 CNRI
+ October 1992
+
+
+ Schedule for IP Address Space Management Guidelines
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+ This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
+ not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
+ unlimited.
+
+Introduction
+
+ This memo suggests a schedule for the implementation of the IP
+ network number allocation plan described in RFC 1366. This schedule
+ is meant to support the implementation and deployment of an address
+ aggregation mechanism for the Internet by proposing an achievable
+ target for which we can all aim. The timely deployment of that
+ aggregation mechanism and the IP addressing plan will help the the
+ size of the Internet router forwarding tables and management of the
+ IP address space. By doing so, it will help the current Internet
+ addressing and routing technology operate during the interim period
+ until the next generation technology is deployed. This interim
+ solution in no way constrains the selection of the next generation
+ addressing and routing technology.
+
+ This draft schedule was put together by the FNC Engineering and
+ Planning Group (FEPG) based on the IP addressing plan BOF of the July
+ 1992 IETF meeting, as well as discussions with a number (though, of
+ course, not all) of knowledgeable and interested parties, including
+ the IANA and IR. This draft schedule assumes that the address
+ aggregation mechanism will be available in the Internet by mid-1993.
+ The activities described in this schedule are the precursors to that
+ deployment, and will promote the efficient operation of that
+ mechanism. We feel that our assumptions are realistic and that this
+ schedule can be met. We encourage its open discussion as we move
+ toward community consensus.
+
+ Please send comments to topolcic@nri.reston.va.us, or to the
+ mailing list ipalloc@nri.reston.va.us. To be added to this
+ mailing list, send a request to ipalloc-request@nri.reston.va.us.
+
+ Note that the references below to an addressing plan and to criteria
+ for regional address registries refer to RFC 1366.

+RFC 1367 Schedule for IP Address Space Guidelines October 1992
+
+
+Draft Implementation Schedule for IP Network Number Allocation Plan:
+
+ 1) 31 October 92:
+
+ The following address allocation procedures are continued:
+
+ a) Initial set of criteria for selecting regional address
+ registries will be put into place, and requests from
+ prospective regional registries will be accepted by the
+ IANA.
+
+ b) Class A network numbers are practically impossible to
+ obtain.
+
+ c) Class B network numbers will continue to be issued only when
+ reasonably justified. If possible, a block of C's will be
+ issued rather than a B. The requirements for allocating a
+ Class B will become progressively more constrained until the
+ date in step (3).
+
+ d) Class C network numbers will be allocated according to the
+ addressing plan. Allocation will be performed by the
+ Internet Registry (IR) if an appropriate regional registry
+ has not yet been designated by the IANA.
+
+ 2) 14 February 93:
+
+ Re-evaluate and readjust the schedule if necessary.
+
+ 3) 15 April 93:
+
+ a) The IR begins to allocate all networks according to the
+ addressing plan in appropriately sized blocks of Class C
+ numbers.
+
+ b) Class B network numbers will be difficult to obtain,
+ following the recommendation of the addressing plan and only
+ issued when justified.
+
+ 4) 6 June 93:
+
+ Expected date that an address aggregation mechanism is
+ available in the Internet.
