In the IPv8 Address Management plan, the legacy address space is managed by clusters of TLD Managers, as opposed to one central body, which seems to favor giving free allocations to the "right" people and charges others for address space allocation. The 8 TLD Managers could be considered "Trustees" of the address space allocations. They can collectively help to ensure that the address space is being used effectively and is allocated fairly. If organizations are not using their allocations, they can turn them into the 8 TLD Managers who can help to reallocate the space via the management of the IN-ADDR.ARPA domain names. As an example, the 9.*.*.* legacy 32-bit space can be collectively managed by IBM and various TLD Managers. They can do a survey of how the address space is used, whether it is effectively being used, and whether the annual fees are being paid for the usage. Based on the market rates of $10 per month for one 32-bit IP address, a /8 would lease for about $168 million per year, which is a one month brokers fee common in real estate. That can help to fund the 8 TLD managers, with $21 million per year (each). People with domain names to the left of 9.IN-ADDR.ARPA (using this example) would of course pay annual fees for those allocations. If the space is no longer used, then there would of course be no revenue from leasing it. Large blocks may have to be sub-divided (like land) to make it more useable. The 9 Trustees may of course decide not to charge each other any money. How they then pay the IN-ADDR.ARPA Manager is left to them. IN-ADDR.ARPA appears to still be run *directly* on the legacy root servers, as opposed to on .ARPA TLD servers. No surprise there. http://www.analogx.com/cgi-bin/cgidig.exe?DNS=205.214.45.10&Query=in-addr.arpa&Type=2&submit=Lookup http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space 009/8 IBM Aug 92 0:72 RIGHTS 0:73 ARCH 0:74 DYNAMITE 0:75 TRIBE 0:76 BURNT 0:77 ISTANBUL 0:78 RIGHT 0:79 UNION ============================ http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=rights http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=arch http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=dynamite http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=tribe http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=burnt http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=istanbul http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=rights http://root-dns.org/vuedig/vuedig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=union ============================ Jim Fleming 2002:[IPv4]:000X:03DB:...IPv8 is closer than you think... http://ipv8.dyndns.tv http://ipv8.yi.org http://ipv8.dyns.cx http://ipv8.no-ip.com http://ipv8.no-ip.org http://ipv8.no-ip.biz http://ipv8.no-ip.info http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/130dftmail/unir.txt 000/8 IANA - Reserved Sep 81 0:0 ARPA 0:1 NET 0:2 BRAND 0:3 SITE 0:4 HARD 0:5 BLOOD 0:6 BLOWN 0:7 HTML 001/8 IANA - Reserved Sep 81 0:8 UNDERGROUND 0:9 CORP 0:10 GOLDEN 0:11 Y (Single Letter TLD) 0:12 TOWN 0:13 NASDAQ 0:14 METER 0:15 TIME 002/8 IANA - Reserved Sep 81 0:16 STORE 0:17 BODY 0:18 MAPLE 0:19 AUTO 0:20 CHAIN 0:21 CHARTERS 0:22 BOLT 0:23 BOLTS 003/8 General Electric Company May 94 0:24 NYSE 0:25 TOUR 0:26 PUBLIC 0:27 COUPONS 0:28 COMIC 0:29 CONSULT 0:30 XXX 0:31 HOME 004/8 Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc.
