5. Current IPv4 Delegation Policy and
Practice
• APNIC: Maximum /22 from final /8 (103/8) plus /22 from
recovered pool for each member (include NIR members)
• RIPE NCC: Maximum /22 from the final /8 pool for each
member
• ARIN: Unmet requests will be put into a waiting list until
resources available. Each member can only have one
request in the queue. Current available size is /24 in Aug
2015
• LACNIC: Maximum /22 for each member every 6 months
• AFRINIC: Still have enough IPv4 for normal allocations

7. Which RIR allows IPv4 inter-RIR Transfers?
• APNIC and ARIN implemented inter-RIR IPv4 transfer
policy. It has been many IPv4 transfers from ARIN region to
APNIC region. Only one transfer from APNIC region to
ARIN region so far
• RIPE NCC will implement the inter-RIR IPv4 transfer policy
end of Aug 2015
• LACNIC has a policy proposal to allow incoming inter-RIR
transfers under discussion
• AFRINIC has a policy proposal about Out-Of-Region Use of
AFRINIC Internet Number Resources under discussion

11. Current IPv6 Delegation Policy and
Practice
• It is very easy to request IPv6 from all RIRs
• Minimum allocation size is /32
• Minimum assignment size is /48
• In LACNIC and RIPE NCC regions, members need to have
or request IPv6 to be able to request IPv4 now

15. Current ASN Delegation Policy and
Practice
• Since 2007, RIRs started to delegate 4-byte AS Numbers
• 2-byte AS Number is running out
• You will receive 4-byte AS Number by default when you
request for an AS Number now
• If you request for a 2-byte AS Number, you need to prove
either your equipment or upstream does not support 4-byte
AS Number
