RIR Basis
• Proposed by IETF in early 1990’s– RFC 1174 (1990)
• “IAB Recommended Policy on Distributing Internet Identifier Assignment…”
– RFC1366 (1992)• “Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space”• Released with RFC1367 (CIDR)
• Documents provided rationale for RIRs– Criteria for establishment– Operating guidelines
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
ARIN

RIR Model - Structure
• Bottom-up, industry, self-regulatory structure
• Open and transparent• Neutral and impartial
• Not for profit organizations• Membership open to all interested parties• Membership elects Board of Trustees and
Advisory Council• Membership approves activities & budget
• RIRs do NOT register domain names
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Formation of ICANN
• US Government decision to end USG management of the global Internet
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) formed as the industry self-regulatory body
AFRINIC?
LACNIC?
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
ICANN ASO
• Formed by RIRs based on existing and proven
regional policy structures
• Responsible for global policy coordination
within ICANN framework
• Advisory Council elected by RIR communities
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Role of the AC
• ...is to be a catalyst in the policy process, – not to develop policy, – but to oversee and coordinate the policy
development process facilitated by the RIRs
• Make recommendations to the ICANN board on addressing issues
• Elect three members of the ICANN Board of Directors
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
RIR Activities
• Address space management
• Registration
• Policy development
• Outreach
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Address Management
Challenges
• Address space depletion– IPv4 address space is finite– Historically, many wasteful allocations
• Routing chaos– Legacy routing structure, router overload– CIDR & aggregation are now vital
• Inequitable management– Unstructured and wasteful address space
distribution
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Address ManagementObjectives
• Conservation– efficient use of resources– allocation based on demonstrated need
• Aggregation– Limiting growth of routing table– provider-based addressing policies
• Registration– Ensuring uniqueness– Troubleshooting
• Fairness and Consistency– In the interests of regional and global communities
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Registration
• IPv4 and IPv6 Numbers Registration
• AS Number Registration
• Registration Call Center
• Reverse Delegation
• WHOIS Directory Service
• Routing Registry Service

IPv4 Allocation Rate in 2000
RIPE NCC
ARIN
APNIC (1.5 /8)(1.28 /8)
(2.0 /8)
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
IPv4 Unallocated
Currently 38% of all IPv4 address
space has not been allocated
(Reserved by the IANA)
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
IPv6 Allocations
• Allocations since 1999• A total of 75 IPv6 address blocks (/35s)
allocated collectively
– APNIC: 26
– ARIN: 15
– RIPE NCC: 34
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Outreach
• Training and Education– Registration help desk– Standardized registration training programs– Attendance at local (state) ISP association meetings
• Information dissemination– News agencies– Industry specific meetings (like the GSMNA)– Government Advisory Committee to the ICANN
NANOG 22 Scottsdale, AZ
Policy Development
• Developed in open policy forums– within industry self-regulatory framework– with consensus of community– Participation open to everyone
• Responsive policy development– fair to all – changing requirements of industry– new technology (G3 phones, GPRS, cable)– evolution of process
• Technical challenges– high level of planning and expertise required– meeting demands of a changing environment

IPv6 Policy Phases
• Bootstrap Phase– Transitional and temporary– Concludes

• After ARIN has allocated 60 sub-TLA IDs
• General Phase
