Hi Sanjaya
Thanks. (If anyone is bored by this then please let me know and I will take it off-list).
Just a couple more questions:
1. You pointed me to section 5.6 of the IPv6 policy which does not specify what data is needed for registering an assignment when the data is specified in the IPv4 policy. Where is that data specified if not in the policy?
I'm not sure I understand this question. Neither document specify the
whois data record format that we use for both private and public
assignment registrations. We take the whois specification out of the
policy document for flexibility reasons.
2. The paragraph from the IPv6 policy is still causing me problems:
RIRs/NIRs are not concerned about which address size an LIR/ISP actually assigns. Accordingly, RIRs/NIRs will not request the detailed information on IPv6 user networks as they did in IPv4, except for the cases described in Section 4.4 and for the purposes of measuring utilization as defined in this document.
This paragraph needs to be read in the context of section 5.5.1 as a whole.
RIRs/NIRs are not concerned about assignment size as long as it's under
the normal maximum /48 mentioned in the previous paragraph.
I suppose this can be made clearer.
It seems to me from your answers that this is entirely wrong because
- RIRs _are_ concerned about which address size an LIR assigns - the registration limit is /48 and APNIC still has a second opinion requirement.
- RIRs _will_ request detailed information on IPv6 user network for every assignment /48 and greater, not just for those exceptions mentioned in the paragraph.
Yes, these are covered in section 5.5.2.
Cheers,
Sanjaya
