Abstract
SIP uses a numbering space of 64 bits, to replace the 32 bit space
used in the current IP. This document specifies an administrative
allocation plan wherein the numbering space is efficiently divided
into continents, clusters and countries.
Space is reserved for end-point identifier, metropolitan and provider
assignment schemes to exist in parallel. Special consideration is
given to the interaction of these schemes with the inverse function
of the domain name service.

DRAFT 64-bit allocation April 1993
1. Criteria
There have been several previous plans for allocation of the 64 bit
number space for future version of IP. Those plans have concentrated
on one particular facet of allocation, such as ease of algorithmic
transformation from older IP numbers, or simplicity of assignment.
This plan is an attempt to take multiple criterion into account.
This is merely a plan for allocation of the 64 bit number space in a
rational fashion. It takes no position on such issues as provider
versus metropolitan based aggregation, or use as end-point
identifiers instead of reachability information. Instead, this plan
provides the minimum level of compatibility between all such known
plans, and contains features that should enhance the interworking of
these different plans when simultaneously deployed.
Administration
The plan must account for ease of administration. In particular,
the plan should allow for ease of assignment, ease of distribution
of the database, and effects of deployment. The administrative
organization should be the same for allocation of provider,
metropolitan, and end-point identifiers.
Allocation
The plan must make efficient utilization of the numbering space.
Each division has a potential allocation inefficiency of 1/2.
Therefore, there should be as few levels of division as possible,
and a firm rationale for use of each division.
Access
The plan must support efficient distributed access techniques. In
particular, the number database should be partitioned such that
access is widely distributed thoughout the network, instead of
highly dependent on a few root servers.
Aggregation
The plan must support dense aggregation of the number space when
used as provider or metropolitan based addressing.

2. Allocation Scheme
Constraints
Since the plan must support the IPAE compatibility mapping, only
half of the numbering space is used.
Of that half, only 3/4 is allocated by this plan.
[Note: an earlier version of the plan used 7/8, which Steve
Deering decided was too much. This version actually allocates
only 21/32 of the space.]
The remainder of the number space may be used as needed for
uninhabited portions of the planet such as Antarctica, for other
bodies within the local solar system, for intercontinental
providers or organizations which refuse to interconnect within
continents, clusters or countries, and for multicasting, IEEE 802
numbers, E.164 numbers, or other special uses.
Countries
The basic administrative unit is the country. Past experience
shows that political considerations often override practical
concerns in the administration of networks. This plan seeks to
align the practical with the political.
The country is also the basic administrative unit in the DNS.
Assignment of number space along the same structure as name space
should greatly ease administration.
This division provides the primary intersection between
metropolitan area and end-point identifier allocation. The low-
numbered portions of each country are intended to be assigned
according to metropolitan area. End-point identifiers should be
assigned from the metropolitan areas. Small regional providers
may be assigned from the high-numbered portion of each country.
There are approximately 227 assigned countries and territories.
This table size is 2 orders of magnitude smaller than currently
handled by IP4 world-wide.
An effective aggregation scheme would result from interconnection
of all of the networks within each country. This may be likely in
the long term (by fiat if not for practical reasons), but is not
required for efficient operation of this plan. Splitting each
Simpson expires in six months [Page 2]
DRAFT 64-bit allocation April 1993
country into 10 disconnected portions would still be an order of
magnitude smaller than currently handled by IP4 world-wide.
Clusters
The countries are collected into clusters. Each country is joined
with other countries which are in territorial proximity, or which
have a preponderance of the population within geographic
proximity, or which are connected by communications installations
such as undersea cables, tropospheric scattering, or shared
satellite links.
This division provides the primary intersection between
metropolitan and provider based allocation. Approximately 1/4 to
1/2 of the numbers in each cluster are reserved for provider based
allocation and future expansion. This is indicated by dashes (-)
at the end of each cluster. Large regional providers should be
assigned from the high-numbered portion of each cluster. New
countries may be added to the low-numbered portion of each
cluster.
There are approximately 38 clusters. This table size is another
order of magnitude smaller than the number of countries.
This division is intended to aid aggregation when the number space
is used for addressing and routing. It is highly likely that
those providers which are not interconnected within every country
will have an interconnection somewhere within the cluster.
This division also improves allocation density where the cluster
contains small countries or territories.
More than 1/2 of a cluster is reserved for expansion in those
regions which are currently volatile. Future shifts in political
boundaries due to splits and joins of various countries within the
cluster will have minimal impact on administration, allocation and
aggregation.
Continents
Clusters are naturally grouped into continents, which are
separated by deserts, seas, oceans, and mountain ranges. There
are 9 such natural groupings defined.
In the near term, it is expected that administrative assignment
will be made by continental level authorities. In the long term,
this assignment authority is expected to be delegated to country
level authorities.

This division is intended to be used to designate points of
inter-continental DNS replication, to reduce such traffic over
inter-continental links.
This division may also aid aggregation when the number space is
used for addressing and routing. Because continental groups are
joined at fewer places, this aggregation level is insensitive to
changes in topology within other continents.
Continental aggregation may reduce the table size by 2 orders of
magnitude when compared with the number of countries. This is
likely to be of most benefit for mobile systems, such as amateur
radio, and in concert with a larger table of local networks.
Population
Population statistics and growth rates are the only useful
measures generally available for estimation of the future
distribution of numbers. These statistics are available from a
number of sources. Unfortunately, the sources provide a wide
range of estimates for current population, and an even wider range
for future growth. In general, the largest such estimate was
chosen to provide sufficient long term space.
However, those countries which were estimated to triple the
current population in 32 years were allocated only twice the
space, and those which quintuple (or more) were allocated only 4
times the space. Countries experiencing rapid growth are less
likely to be developing technological infrastructure in the near
term. The IP4 compatibility region of the number space can be
used to meet unanticipated long term needs.
An estimated future population size of 8.6*10^9 needs to fit
within 3/8 of 2^64 (6.9*10^18). This yields an initial estimate
of 800,000,000 per person.
Taking into consideration the best fit of the clusters within
octet aligned available space yielded 2^48 (2.8*10^14) numbers for
blocks of 400,000 population. This divides to 710,000,000 per
person, which should be enough in the very long term.
While at first glance this may appear to be 89% efficiency in
allocation, it is noted below that the two largest countries are
assigned only half their proper allocation. The actual efficiency
is closer to 60%, which is still much better than the theoretical
worst case of 12.5% for 3 divisions.

DRAFT 64-bit allocation April 1993
China and India
India and China account for over half of the population of the
planet. Since over half of the number space is already reserved,
it proved impossible to allocate a proportionate amount to these
countries. Currently, 2^59 (5.8*10^17) numbers are allocated for
1.6*10^9 persons, yielding only 360,000,000 each, which should be
enough for the near term (tongue in cheek). In the future,
another quarter of the number space could be allocated to these
countries from the IP4 compatibility region.
Small Countries and Territories
Islands represent the opposite problem. Islands frequently have
much fewer than 400,000 persons. Island nations and territories
are often composed of many small islands. This leads to
inefficiency in allocation. Therefore, small countries and
islands are clustered with larger ones where possible, increasing
the effective density of the space utilization.
Future Expansion
Someday, after the IP4 network 32-bit space has been exhausted and
there is no need to globally route IP4 traffic, the 1-bit IP4
compatibility prefix may be eliminated, thus adding another 2^63
numbers (less the 2^32 permanently assigned for non-global use of
IP4) to the 64-bit space.
Bit and Octet Alignment
To support efficient access and aggregation, this plan makes
careful consideration of bit and octet alignment. Continents and
most clusters are identified by the first octet, most countries,
island groups and large providers by the first two octets, and all
small countries and metropolitan areas within 3 octets.
The DNS uses octet boundaries in the inverse lookup function.
This plan provides efficient distribution of access activity world
wide.
