Alanet, The Alamode Network

[[TOC]]

Alanet is a network that alamodians can connect to, host services on and experiment with.

Properties

Address Space: Alanet uses the address space 0200::/8 which was deprecated by RFC4048 in December, 2004. It's still reserved by IETF, but I'm not super worried about that.
- All IPv6 addresses in Alanet start with the bytes [0x00, 0x02].
ASN Range: In true ohea spirit, the ASN range is 42069XXXXX. ASNs are numbers that identitify entities in Alanet and control allocated IPv6 prefixes. For example, ASN4206900055 could control the prefix 23f::/16 and only they are allowed to advertise that prefix.

ASN Policy

You can choose any ASN decimal number as long as its prefix is 42069XXXXX.

The first 10 ASNs are reserved: 4206900000 - 426900010

A valid ASN could be 4206900055.

IPv6 Address Allocation Policy

All new members can choose any unallocated 200::/16. After half of that address space has been allocated, then we will revisit this policy and most likely start allocating /24 or /32 prefixes. The maximum allocation is a /8 and the minimum allocation is a /32.

200::/16 is reserved for special projects.
2ff::/16 is reserved for future multicast work.

Choose any two hex digits X and Y and your assignment will be 2XY::/16.

OHEANA

OHEANA is the OHEA Number Authority. OHEANA keeps track of ASNs and IP addresses, and in the future, domain names and special Alanet protocols.

You will need to register with OHEANA your chosen ASN and prefix before joining and peering on the network.

Pronunciation is up to the reader.

Conclusion

OHEANA has setup a git repo registry here: https://git.ohea.xyz/OHEANA/registry

Go and allocate your ASN and prefix! First come, first served!
