RFC 1367 Schedule for IP Address Space Guidelines October 1992
Draft Implementation Schedule for IP Network Number Allocation Plan:
1) 31 October 92:
The following address allocation procedures are continued:
a) Initial set of criteria for selecting regional address
registries will be put into place, and requests from
prospective regional registries will be accepted by the
IANA.
b) Class A network numbers are practically impossible to
obtain.
c) Class B network numbers will continue to be issued only when
reasonably justified. If possible, a block of C's will be
issued rather than a B. The requirements for allocating a
Class B will become progressively more constrained until the
date in step (3).
d) Class C network numbers will be allocated according to the
addressing plan. Allocation will be performed by the
Internet Registry (IR) if an appropriate regional registry
has not yet been designated by the IANA.
2) 14 February 93:
Re-evaluate and readjust the schedule if necessary.
3) 15 April 93:
a) The IR begins to allocate all networks according to the
addressing plan in appropriately sized blocks of Class C
numbers.
b) Class B network numbers will be difficult to obtain,
following the recommendation of the addressing plan and only
issued when justified.
4) 6 June 93:
Expected date that an address aggregation mechanism is
available in the Internet.
