Brief introduction to internet number resource
APNIC’s role in the community
Located in Brisbane, Australia
Nearly 80 staff
A diverse staff which speaks 27 languages coming from all around the world.
APNIC is the RIR – Regional Internet Registry for the Asia Pacific. It is one of 5 RIRs operating in the world today.
The Regional Internet Registry system evolved over time, eventually dividing the world into five RIRs:
African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) for Africa
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) for the United States, Canada, several parts of the Caribbean region, and Antarctica.
Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Centre (LACNIC) for Latin America and parts of the Caribbean region
Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) for Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Central Asia
When we talk about each RIR, they consist of the Internet community as a whole in its region.
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) which is a coordinating body for the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and they facilitate the joint coordination of activities between the RIRs.
----- Meeting Notes (21/11/2014 14:01) -----
Duplicate
Internet number resources are distributed in a hierarchical manner. IANA is the central distribution organization, delegating resources to different RIRs. And then RIRs distribute their resources to LIR or ISPs based on their own policies.
APNIC is a non-profit, membership based organization.
Total direct membership as of now has passed 6300.
Combined membership is 13,708.
Again, current trend is lower for IPv4 allocations
There’s a waiting list for recycled addresses – as of 14 Aug, there are 286 entries on the list (1,075 x/24s block requested)
----
Delegations so far for 2017 – 1,567
Amount of addresses transferred to date is trending lower than last year
Transfers can take place between APNIC and both the ARIN and RIPE regions
Almost all the transfers between regions have the address space coming into the APNIC region rather than leaving it.
Total delegations so far in 2017 – 912; current trend is slightly lower than 2016
The majority of delegations have been a /32 (71%) which is the default allocation size for providers, followed by /48s which is the default assignment size for end-sites. Most came from normal allocations, instead of one-click.
2 years ago during the SANOG 25 in Kandy, only LEARN had positive figures in this chart. LEARN being an educational and research oriented organization, it is not surprising that they are leading the table.
It s very good to see that commercial organizations have also started using IPv6.
Oceana region is leading. Reason being there are large number of multihomed independent networks in Australia and New Zealand. Banks, Hospitals, Universities, Schools, also prefer to manage their own networks.
The main news in Routing Security which you may have seen was a July announcement from the NRO that all RIRs will move from a RPKI Trust Anchor that reflects their own holdings to one that reflects all holdings
This improvement will provide a better way to allow resources that are covered under RPKI to be transferred from one RIR to another
APNIC is working on this project now and will be completed on 27 September. There is a blog post with more detail on this project on the APNIC Blog, I encourage you to read it if you are interested to learn more – it is called “Transitioning to a single trust anchor”
APNIC encourages all Members to certify resources, and will continue to promote routing security
While the numbers are still small, the good news is that growth is promising with IPv4 ROA adoption rates doubling from the 2016 figure (0.9%)
It is quick and easy to create ROAs and certify your resources – if it is something your organisation has not yet done, please talk to one of the helpful APNIC hostmasters here at the conference – they will gladly help you do so
The successful establishment of Tonga’s CERT.to has sparked interest from other Pacific Island states on developing their own security response capabilities.
We are now working with other Pacific economies to help them develop CERTs, funded by a grant to the APNIC Foundation by the Australian Government.
We also signed an MoU with FIRST to formalise the relationship there – bringing the security community into the APNIC community at conferences and events around the region, sharing security training curriculum
Jamie Gillespie joins us from Google and AusCERT
Moving on to regional development now
Training is one of the key activities APNIC is focusing on, towards Regional Internet Development. Last year we have over 50 face-to-face training activities in number of economies.
In addition, there are eLearning programs which anyone can participate remotely. These are broadcast live every Wednesday and its free for anyone, Member or not.
To find out about next workshop happening close to you, or to register for an eLearning event, please visit the APNIC training website: training.apnic.net
The APNIC Academy launched earlier this year – self paced online learning
Curriculum is in its infancy right now but a lot more to come
Great response so far and we welcome your feedback as always
The aim of the Foundation is to secure alternative sources of funding to help support APNIC’s development activities such as training, technical assistance, fellowships, ISIF grants and more
Total views to date - 262k - are 148% higher for 2017 than the same period a year ago.
Our aim is to continue increasing the posts from the community. If you have an interesting story to share, please contact us
Workshops: 19-23 Feb
Conference: 25-28 Feb
Around 50 fellowships were offered for APNIC 44 in Taiwan. For coference or workshops or both.
Some of the follows are here in our audience now, Ziyam, Thilina, ….altogether 4 fellowships were given to Sri lankans.
Applications are being accepted as I speak, and the deadline for submission is 30th of October, So please hurry up if you are interested.
If you wish to learn more details, please visit the website or you can talk to me after this.
Every year, two conferences are happening, After Kathmandu, APNIC coference moves to New Caledonia in Pacific Islands and then to South Korea.
If you did not get selected for a fellowship, don’t be disheartened, keep trying.
Hopefully this report has given you a good snapshot of the year that was, but to stay in touch with what’s happening at APNIC and within the community, visit the blog or any one of APNIC’s social media accounts to learn more
