Good morning everyone. My name is Zen, I am a internet resource analyst who works in APNIC member services team.
Today, I am going to talk to you about role of APNIC, how to obtain resources from APNIC, and some updates on the services that APIC provides.
Brief introduction on what is APNIC. APNIC stands for Asia Pacific Network Information Centre. It is the Regional Internet Registry for the Asia Pacific region.
Its core function is to delegate internet resources to networks and organizations which are located in the Asia Pacific region.
APNIC is a non-for-profit and membership based organization.
We also have our own training team which provides training, education and internet development in the region.
- Today, in my presentation, I am going to talk to you about two main areas, which is how to get internet resources from APNIC, and give you some updates on the services that APNIC provides.
One of the common questions that we usually get is “How to become an APNIC member, and apply for resources from APNIC”?
If we look into the big picture, there are only three simple steps to get your internet resources from APNIC
The first step which is to PLAN. In the planning stage, you will need to review the resource requirement of your organization, and decide how much resources does your organization actually need
In the second stage, APPLY, your organization will need to complete the application form and submit the application online.
Once APNIC has received and reviewed your application, we will then get back to you to inform you about the status of your application.
As of 29 July 2015, we now have a total of 5,172 Members, and increase of 10.7% from 2014.
Up until v4 exhaustion in the AP region, delegation requests were steady.
However, Since we have started delegating the IPv4 address of the recovered pool, there was a surge in IPv4 requests in 2014, as a result of the availability of address space from the recovered pool.
IPv4 delegations increased 158% in 2014 compared to 2013. In 2015, allocations have been steady.
44% of requests have come from the recovered pool and 56% from the last /8 pool. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the v4 delegations are /22s, which is the maximum allowed by the policy. So far in 2015, APNIC has made 1602 delegations from 103/8 and 1251 delegations from the recovered pool.
- Lets have a look at the IPv4 address that Laos have received from APNIC in the past 10 years. 2004 – 2015 in /24’s
72 /24’s in 2008, which is equivalent to 18,483 IP addresses
These delegations are spread across 13 active members in Laos
So what if your organization has received a /22 from the 103/8 block, and still need more IPv4 address?
In May 2014, the proposal 105 was implemented, where members are eligible to receive an additional /22 Ipv4 block from the non-103/8 block.
- The statistics shows there are still 77% of members in Laos that have not received this recycle pool from APNIC. So, if your organization has not received the recycle pool from APNIC, you can apply for this block through your MyAPNIC account.
What if your organization still needs more IPv4 address after you have received the maximum of /21 IPv4 block from APNIC?
You can still obtain more IPv4 address under the “IPv4 and ASN transfer policy”
Can transfer resources between APNIC members, and between APNIC members, and other RIR members such as ARIN.
APNIC do provide some transfer services to accommodate this transfer policy, such as
Transfer pre-approval, where members get transfer approval in advance between finding the source
Transfer listing – APNIC list your resource requirements on the public website, to help you find potential sources for your transfer
Sign up to the transfer mailing list where you can discuss your organization requirement and find the sources through the mailing list.
However, IPv4 address is really fast exhausting. With how the internet is growing, we will have enough IPv4 address to run the internet.
As of now, ARIN (Regional Internet Registry in the North America has run out of IPv4 address)
So, the solution over here is to move over to IPv6 address.
- Over here, I have the IPv6 graph which is collected by Google. As you can see, IPv6 traffic is on the rise.
In particular, since 2013 IPv6 traffic has jumped from 1 to 9%, in just two years time.
This shows that IPv4 address has reached the exhaustion stage, and networks around the world has to start adopting IPv6 address.
This graph over here shows the comparison between IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
The graph on the top left shows the growth of total IPv4 routes on BGP routing table compare to the total IPv6 routes. The growth for IPv6 routes is almost 3 times during this period.
The graph on the top right shows the total ASN numbers that are announcing IPv4 address, compare the IPv6 address. Again the growth for ASN announcing IPv6 address is greater.
The delegation rate for IPv6 has been quite stable,
There is a sudden increase of delegation in 2009, which is when the IPv4 address is running low.
The majority of delegations have been a /32 (66%) 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.
Have Laos adopted IPv6 address?
From 2010 to 2015, APNIC has done 9 delegations of IPv6 address to Laos.
Less than half of LA accounts have received IPv6 address from APNIC.
If your account has already received IPv4 address from APNIC, then your account is eligible to receive IPv6 address from APNIC.
To help members to kick start their IPv6 deployment, we provide the “one-click IPv6” option in MyAPNIC
Where members are eligible to get IPv6 address blocks at no additional cost.
If your organization has received a /22 IPv4 block from APNIC, then your organization is eligible to receive a /32 IPv6 block, and it your organization has received a /24 IPv4 block from APNIC, then your organization is eligible to receive a /48 IPv6 block.
- Now I would like to give you an update on the services that APNIC provides.
APNIC has a dedicated team to help members with their queries.
Over here, I have put some faces to names, in case you wish to contact us over the phone or email address.
In member services team, we support multiple languages, and you can contact us through email, skype, live chat, and phone.
Some of the services that we provide to the community and members are as follows
For example, we answer general queries on APNIC services, and procedures
We help members with account management and payment
We help members to update their Whois records, troubleshoot reverse DNS issues, and help members with their MyAPNIC portal issues.
Earlier this year, APNIC services team started a project called the services roadmap. The objective is to give an opportunity to community and members to have a say on what improvements we should be making, and we will make the improvements based on these feedbacks.
In every APNIC conferences, we will make an update on these improvements to the members.
The advantage of this project is that instead of APNIC decides what is best for our members, we let members tell us what is the best for them, and we will implement it for the members.
Continuous improvement
- APNIC has its own training team that goes around this region to train locals and network operators to help them develop the internet.
- There are eLearning webinars that runs on every Wednesday, where learners can participate remotely on these courses for free.
Core APNIC topics are also being professionally recorded and edited for YouTube channel.
- Reviewing and updating existing materials. Introduced Juniper-based material and Juniper training lab
- Trained 1833 professionals by 62 face to face courses
- 614 professionals trained through e-learning sessions.

TAS is a new initiative to support APNIC members with best practice in network operations
Technical assistance is offered to network operators that need help to tackle projects such as IPv6 deployment. It intends to be provided on a cost recovery basis.
For example, one of the recent Technical Assistance service that APNIC provides is in Mongolia in July 2015. During the Technical Assistance visit, with Philip Smith’s contribution, we visited 4 organizations to have in depth IPv6 discussion on their networks.
APNIC also acts as the supporting partner for various NOGs that are happening in this region.
NOG stands for Network Operators Group
The purpose of these NOG events is to brings together network operators in a specific region, to encourage knowledge sharing, learning and co-operation, and provides a forum to discuss operational issues and technologies of interest.
So far in 2015, we have supported and participated at:
JANOG 35, Shizuoka, Japan 13-14 Jan
SANOG 25, Kandy SriLanka 16-21 Jan
NZNOG 2015, Rotorua New Zealand, 26-30 Jan

There is a Research and Development team lead by APNIC chief scientist Geoff Huston and George Michaelson.
The official website of the R and D team is called APNIC labs.
In the research team, they are doing over 3 million measurements per day. The measurement that they are doing daily includes IPv4, IPv6, DNSSec and so on.
Besides they have also implemented HTML 5 which allows measurements on mobile device.
If you have not attended any of the APNIC conferences before, you can apply for the Fellowship program, and attend the meeting for free
