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. + + + + + +Topolcic [Page 1] + +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. + +References + + [1] Gerich, E., "Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space", RFC + 1366, Merit, October 1992. + + + +Topolcic [Page 2] + +RFC 1367 Schedule for IP Address Space Guidelines October 1992 + + +Security Considerations + + Security issues are not discussed in this memo. + +Author's Address + + Claudio Topolcic + Corporation for National Research Initiatives + 895 Preston White Drive + Suite 100 + Reston, VA 22091 + + Phone: (703) 620-8990 + EMail: topolcic@NRI.Reston.VA.US + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Topolcic [Page 3] +
