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.
