APNIC Overview
• What is APNIC?• Services and Membership• Policies• Recent Developments• Resource Status• Future Directions
• Questions?
APNIC Services
• Resource allocation• Internet (IP) Addresses
• Autonomous System (AS) numbers
• in-addr.arpa Domains
• Resource registration• Registration Service
• Registration Servers: “whois” and Reverse DNS
• Member training and support
APNIC Resources
• Internet (IP) Addresses– Limited by 32-bit number space– Limited by need for aggregation– Major management responsibility of APNIC
• Autonomous System (AS) Numbers– Limited by 16-bit identifier (65535 ASNs)– No immediate shortage
• in-addr.arpa Domains– No practical limitation
APNIC Membership (1)
• Membership is Open• ISPs, National Internet Registries and NICs,
and multinational organisations• Member size self-assessed (currently)• Requirements: Payment of fees
Location in the AP region
• Benefits of Membership• Resource allocation and registration• Free attendance and voting at APNIC meetings• NOT: Automatic or Easier Address Allocation
APNIC Membership (2)
• Annual feesSmall 1 vote USD 2500/year
Medium 2 votes USD 5000/year
Large 4 votes USD 10000/year
Very Large 8 votes USD 20000/year
• Other fees• Startup USD 1000

APNIC Overview
• What is APNIC?• Services and Membership• Policies• Recent Developments• Resource Status• Future Directions
• Questions?
APNIC Policies- Background
• Scalability of the Internet• CIDR & aggregation are vital
• Routing instability• Legacy routing structure, Router overload
• IPv4 address space is finite• Historically, many wasteful, “classful” assignments
• Fairness and Consistency• In the interests of the AP and Global communities
APNIC Policies- Objectives
• First objective: – Ensuring efficient use and conservation of resources
• Second objective : – Limiting growth of routable prefixes
• Third objective : – Fairness and Consistency in procedures– Expertise and Neutrality of registry
• Policies defined by the Internet community– Implemented by APNIC and the APNIC community (and of course
by the other registries)
APNIC Policies- IP Addresses
• Based on global Internet registry policies• RFC 2050 (1996)
• Other RIR policies
• APNIC Policy document being drafted
• Minimum practical allocation • /19 - under review at global level
• “Slow Start” policy for new members
• Allocation of “PA” Address Space• Provider-Aggregatable
• Customer assignments are non-portable
• New allocations • Completed request form in detail (next slide)
• Demonstrated plan for efficient address space usage
• Additional allocations • Completed request form in detail (next slide)
• Demonstrated plan for efficient address space usage
• Assigned address space economically
• APNIC database updated - to end user level
• How quickly the initial allocation is consumed
APNIC Allocation Policies- IP Addresses
• APNIC follows “second-opinion” process• New assignments can require a “second-opinion”
• Submit request on “second-opinion” request form
• APNIC “assignment window”• The amount of address space a member may assign
without a “second opinion”
• Starts at zero, increases based on efficiency of assignment
• Assignment window size• Increased by APNIC as member gains experience
• NOTE: assignment window can also be decreased
APNIC Assignment Policies- IP Addresses
• Assignments based on requirements • Documentation must be detailed• Justification is based on number of hosts
initially, after 1 year, and after 2 years• Address space assignment should maximise utilisation
(and therefore minimise wastage)• Classless assignments, showing use of VLSM• Note: RFC1918, HTTP 1.1, NAT, IP unnumbered...
• Efficient address space assignments are vital for the future of the Internet!
