Questions from APNIC34 in Cambodia - Returned IPv4 Addresses
by Dean Pemberton 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

One of the topics to come up at the APNIC 34 meeting in Cambodia is what happens to any IPv4 addresses which are returned or recovered by APNIC. At present APNIC operates in a mode where it is implementing austerity measures and will only allocate 1024 addresses from their last /8 (103/8) to members on a one off basis. This means that existing and new APNIC members are only able to get a single 1024 address allocation from now on. There are organisations with large IP address allocations (in most cases legacy addressing) who are considering handing them back. JPNIC has already accepted back more than a /11 worth of space. The questions being asked by some members now is what happens to those addresses and how might they be reallocated to other members. In evaluating how recovered addresses may impact its members the Japan Network Information Centre has asked them the following questions and I'd like to give New Zealand organisations a chance to answer them as well. 1. If it were possible to receive an IPv4 allocation of returned addresses from outside of the APNIC final /8 (103/8) block, would you apply for an allocation? 2. Would you use the IPv4 addresses any differently than an allocation from the final /8? (eg, Sign up new customers vs IPv6 transition technologies) 3. Would there be an effect on your IPv6 deployment if further IPv4 addresses could be allocated. 4. What would be the minimum size which would make such an allocation useful 5. There are opinions that rather than focusing on changing IPv4 policy, we should put all efforts towards IPv6 deployment. Taking such opinion into consideration, do you still feel there is a need to re-consider the APNIC final /8 policy (APNIC prop-88)? 6. Any additional comments. Answers/Comments to me or the list, I'm calm either way. Regards, Dean

Brief outage on rs1.wix.net.nz and rs1-v6.wix.net.nz - 10am Tuesday
by Tim Hoffman 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Greetings, As part of our continued effort to develop the NZIX route servers, we are planning to replace rs1.wix.net.nz and rs1-v6.wix.net.nz on Tuesday at 10am. We will observe a change freeze on the rest of our route servers nationwide (including the alternate WIX route servers) during this time. These two route servers (which are currently separate boxes) are being replaced with a single dual-stacked box. Assuming all goes well later next week we'll be replacing rs2.wix.net.nz and rs2-v6.wix.net.nz with a second dual stacked route server - we will advise the details/timing of this once Tuesday's work is complete. Feel free to drop me an email if you have any queries/comments regarding this. Regards, Tim
