Current IPv4 Delegation Policy and Practice in each region• APNIC: Maximum /22 from final /8 (103/8). Requests for

additional /22 from recovered pool will be put into the waiting list.

• RIPE NCC: Maximum /22 from the final /8 pool for each member.

• ARIN has run out their IPv4 free pool. All requests will be put into a waiting list.

• LACNIC: Maximum /22 for each member every 6 months

• AFRINIC: Expect to hit their final /8 early next year.

Which RIR allows IPv4 inter-RIR Transfers?• APNIC, ARIN and RIPE NCC implemented inter-RIR IPv4

transfer policy.

• LACNIC and AFRINIC don’t have inter-RIR transfers policy.

Current IPv6 Delegation Policy and Practice• It is very easy to request IPv6 from all RIR

• APNIC members can receive their IPv6 by one-click via MyAPNIC

• CNNIC members can request their IPv6 from CNNIC easily

ASN Assignments (RIRs to customers)How many ASNs has each RIR assigned by year?

Current ASN Delegation Policy and Practice• Since 2007, RIRs started to delegate 4-byte AS Numbers

• 2-byte AS Number is running out

• All RIRs assign 4-byte AS Numbers by default 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
