2006-07: First Raise in IPv4 Assignment Window Size
State:
Accepted
Archived Date:
April 2007
Working Group:
Address Policy Working Group
Summary: This proposal suggests the Assignment Window (AW) available to new LIRs should automatically be raised from zero (0) to /21 (2,048 IPv4 addresses) six months after they receive their first allocation. Because the sub-allocation policy references the AW policy, the sub-allocation policy also needs to be updated. This proposal suggests that the maximum sub-allocation should be kept at /20 (4,096 IPv4 addresses).
