We want your views on
APNIC!
Survey open July –
more details soon
Reflects APNIC’s vision of a “global, open, stable and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community:
Serving APNIC Members
Supporting Internet development in the AP region
Cooperating with the Internet community
The total membership figure for 2015 is 5,268. So far in 2016, APNIC has 5,448 Members, and increase of 3.3% from the 2015 figure.
Since Jan 2015, the delegation rate for IPv6 has been quite stable, and we can see that the majority of delegations have been a /32 (70%) 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. So far in 2016, we have delegated 228 blocks of IPv6.
Up until v4 exhaustion in the AP region, delegation requests were steady. Following exhaustion, numbers decreased, but with the advent of the recovered pool, there was a marked increase 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.
43% of requests have come from the recovered pool and 57% from the last /8 pool. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the v4 delegations are /22s, which is the maximum allowed by the policy. In 2015, APNIC has made 1958 delegations from 103/8 and 2540 delegations from the recovered pool.
IPv4 Transfers remain steady as well, however, we are starting to see some transfers from ARIN to NIR members. 40% of Members are utilising the listing service in 2015. 61% of pre-approvals remaining indicates we still have many Members who are looking for sources to transfer from. As of 1 October transfers are now available with the RIPE NCC region.
From Jan 2010, APNIC ceased to make any distinction between two-byte and four-byte when assigning AS Numbers as a result of a policy change, which illustrates the 2010 figures where only 10 4-byte delegations were made. It is good to note that the return rate for 4-byte is very low (2%), which illustrates acceptance of 4-byte ASN in the region. Overall, 83% of ASNs are 4-byte. 4-byte uptake has been quite good in the region with 710 delegations in 2015, compared to 171 2-byte delegations.
Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) service was fully up to date with specifications in May 2015.
Solves a number of limitation to the WHOIS protocol, for example:
Standardizes the query format, so clients only need to learn one way to ask a registry about its data. I
Standardizes the response format, so clients only need to learn how to parse a response once.
It uses common technologies to deliver service, so tool developers can leverage existing libraries and frameworks.
It supports redirection, so querying APNIC for an ARIN address will redirect to ARIN’s service, and vice-versa.
And it supports internationalization, so data is no longer presented in a random character set, but instead always in UTF-8.
MyAPNIC improvements planned for 2016.
Simplified updates include:
View and replace your whois contacts
Bulk update your whois contacts
View all objects associated in your account
Reverse DNS management:
Single page to manage your reverse DNS delegations
Integrated reverser domain verification tool
Route and ROA management
Create your route and ROA objects in one go
Automated notification to AS number custodians
Manage conflicts between your route and ROA objects
Planning to focus on updating IPv6 pages this year
APNIC held its first Training survey earlier in 2015. We received 249 responses from 37 economies. We can draw the following conclusions:
APNIC training is mostly perceived as being of good quality and out neutrality is considered import
Our Member consider hands-on training as being the most valuable form of training
eLearning has mixed support, and there appears to be declining interest. The topics need to be revised and improved, and eLearning as a whole requires better promotion. The eLearning video library is currently hosted on YouTube, which is blocked in some economies. Alternative hosting platforms should be investigated.
There is reasonable support for the introduction of self-paced online learning, especially if these leads towards some sort of certification. It is considered important for reaching out to more trainees, although it should not replace existing face-to-face methods of delivery.
Advanced topics such as Network Security, IPv6, BGP, DNSSEC, ISP/IX Design, MPLS, Incident Handling and Response and OSPF/IS-IS elicit by far the most interest. There is much lower interest in core APNIC topics such MyAPNIC, Whois Database and RPKI. There is also significant interest in SDN, which may be worth considering developing due to its implications for building networks in future.
The most popular locations for training are overwhelmingly those where APNIC has received little or no requests for training. This would imply that APNIC could be more proactive in organizing its own training in these preferred locations, rather than being reactive to requests originating from particular economies for local training.
There appears to be overwhelming support for delivering training in English, although Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Taiwan and Vietnam expressed preference for training in their local languages. There is also some limited interest in Bengali, Bahasa Indonesian, Thai, Hindi, Malay and Cantonese.
There is a slight preference for APNIC training to be undertaken by APNIC staff, although APNIC accredited trainers also appear acceptable. The NIRs tend to support the training-the-trainers concept.
APNIC training fees are set at, or slightly below the level that people are able and prepared to pay.
There is a lot of a interest in APNIC developing examination based certification. There is some limited interest in obtaining accreditation for its courses.
There is some support for a fee paying technical assistance program.
Expected future demand for training is difficult to quantify, but more and frequent training is widely requested. Demand for training may reasonably be expected to grow in line with APNIC membership, although eLearning has decreased in popularity. There also appears to be demand to develop training-the-trainers and self-paced online learning programs.
APNIC training aims to deliver vital skills to network operators across the entire region to help grow the Internet.
eLearning webinars have changed slightly, reduced from 4 to 3 sessions each Wednesday from April 2015. There’s nearly as many participants in the first 7.5 months as whole of 2014.
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
TAS is a new initiative to support APNIC member’s efforts to deploy and maintain scalable and resilient networks and best practices in network operations
Technical assistance is offered to network operators that need help to tackle projects such as IPv6 deployment. It is provided on a cost recovery basis.
Changes to the request criteria for the delegation of IPv4 addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) will make it easier for end-user organizations to prepare for multihoming without having to establish interconnect agreements before applying.

We remain committed to promoting IPv6 and helping increase its adoption. As part of TAS outreach we collaborated with the ITU on a five-day IPv6 Infrastructure security workshop in Bangkok – 50 participants from 12 economies in the AP region. Also provided ITU Country Direct assistance on IPv6 in Ulaanbaatar, with a 3-day IPv6 infrastructure security workshop and ITU engineering assistance at 3 organizations – 50 participants from 22 organizations, with great encouragement from the Mongolian regulator.
Plan to update IPv6 web pages on the APNIC website this year.
Security specialist Adli Wahid, is working with different teams within APNIC as well as building relationship with potential and new partners that APNIC can leverage. Adli was recently elected as a board member of the Forum of Incident and Security Response Teams
Build capability through training, providing content on security at APNIC and LEA training
Participation in NOGs, inter-governmental forums, CERTS etc. We take that knowledge and share it with Members to raise awareness
Highlighting relevant initiatives to Members to improve security such as IRT objects in whois, RPKI, and SAVE (BCP 38)
New tool, based on CAIDA’s core visualization tool; examines how ASNs interact in an economy by mapping globally visible routes in the BGP routing table.
Can be used to demonstrate how the BGP routing table can be used as a data source to visualize Internet infrastructure in an economy, by mapping transit paths of Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) delegated to that economy.
In addition to the two major conferences hosted each year by APNIC, a number of smaller events are held around the region. These include APNIC Regional Meetings, which act as an additional forum for Members to meet with their peers in their community and from neighbouring economies to share their Internet resource management experiences, and get the latest updates on APNIC's activities, and Member Gathering events, which allows APNIC staff to meet up with Members, answer questions related to their IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, membership, and provide confidential hostmaster consultations.
