Examining recent trends in DDoS activity across the Asia Pacific region and practical ways to reduce both exposure and impact.
Internet number resource policy determines how IPv4, IPv6, and ASN resources are managed and distributed across the Asia Pacific region. Policy can sometimes seem abstract or administrative, but has real consequences.
At APNIC 61 in Jakarta, the Policy SIG discussed proposals to reduce minimum IPv6 and increase maximum IPv4 delegations, highlighting tradeoffs between efficiency, record-keeping, and network planning. A Policy 101 session also introduced newcomers to APNIC’s consensus-driven policy process.
A change in consensus gauging tooling, and two policy proposals are up for discussion.
Three proposals achieved consensus. Two did not. One of those received no feedback at all prior to the meeting.
With so many policy proposals up for discussion at the upcoming OPM, it’s worth taking the time to understand their potential impact.
Three more proposals have now been added to the agenda for discussion at APNIC 60.
Whether it’s your first time participating or you’re a long-time contributor, APNIC 60 is the place to help shape the future of Internet number resource policy in the Asia Pacific region. Read the proposals, join the conversation, and make your voice heard!
