It may be used by APNIC members and non-members with a valid APNIC account name. Other IP address request forms ------------------------------ If you are an APNIC member seeking an IPv4 allocation, then use the "IPv4 ISP request Form", at: http://www.apnic.net/services/ipv4/index.html (web) ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/isp-address-request (text) If you are seeking address space for the transit LAN of an Internet Exchange Point, then use the "Internet Exchange Point Address Request Form", at: ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/ixp-assign-request If you are seeking an IPv6 allocation, then use the "IPv6 Sub-TLA Request Form" (web only), at: http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/ipv6-subtla-request.pl Eligibility for IPv4 multihoming assignment ------------------------------------------- Organisations seeking an IPv4 multihoming assignment must meet the criteria described in "Policies for Address Space Management in the Asia Pacific Region". In particular, an organisation is eligible to receive a portable assignment from APNIC if it: * is currently multihomed with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multihome within one month; and * agrees to renumber out of previously assigned address space. An organisation is considered to be multihomed if its network receives full-time connectivity from more than one ISP and has one or more routing prefixes announced by at least two of its ISPs. Organisations requesting a portable assignment under these terms must demonstrate that they are able to use 25 percent of the requested assignment immediately and 50 percent within one year. There is no minimum assignment size for portable assignments made under these terms. Nor is there a maximum size; however, if organisations are able to demonstrate a need for approximately /20 or greater, then they should consider becoming a member and applying for an allocation. Fees and accounts ----------------- Assignments are avilable to both current APNIC members and non- members. Non-members must first obtain an APNIC account name.
