Special Circumstances for Lowering
Minimum Allocation Size
(Case Study Indonesia)
Objective
• To get feedback from APNIC members on
the possibility of lowering the current
minimum allocation size on a case-by-case
basis, where an ISP cannot obtain address
space from its upstream providers
Background
• Indonesia has a large population and
potential internet users
• 150+ internet licenses, and still growing
• Government promotes small and medium
enterprises
• There will only be a few large ISP, the
remaining will be small, local or niche
players
Background
• Internet Backbone is charged in USD, very
expensive
• Most ISP will do multihoming, at least one
link to a domestic exchange (much cheaper)
• Most backbone providers do not provide IP
resources
Problem
• A small ISP may have a genuine need for an
independent IPv4 address space
• /20 is too large
• 15 Indonesian ISP has not come back for
more address space since 1999 after
receiving /20 or /19
Proposal
• Allocate /22 to a small organization that
cannot meet the criteria for /20 allocation if:
– They run an ISP business
– They cannot get enough address space from
upstream provider (proof of contract of
previous correspondence required)
Evaluation Criteria
• RFC 2050: 25% utilization immediately,
50% in one year
• The organization must have an immediate
need for /24, and /23 in one year
Follow-up Plan
• Solicit feedback from other countries to find
similar situation
• Submit final proposal 60 days after Taiwan
meeting
