* Registration information for 202.123.0.0/19 has been transferred to the AfriNIC Whois Database.

Information on minimum allocation sizes in these ranges is also available.

Notes

218.100.0.0/16 is used to make /24 assignments to Internet Exchange Points (IXPs).

203.119.0.0/16 is used to make /24 assignments to Critical Infrastructure.

169.208.0.0/15 is used to make /21 allocations for experimental purposes.

169.210.0.0/14
169.214.0.0/13
169.222.0.0/15 are used for conferences, exhibitions and temporary assignments;

196.192.0.0/13 is used to make /22 allocations to future members of AfriNIC.

IPv6

2001:0200::/23
2001:0C00::/23
2001:0E00::/23
2001:4400::/23
2001:8000::/19
2001:A000::/20
2001:B000::/20
2400:0000::/12
Notes

2001:0DC0::/27 is used for Critical Infrastructure assignments.

2001:0DE8::/29 is used for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) assignments.

2001:0DF0::/29 is used for portable assignments.

2001:0DF8::/29 is used for temporary assignments.

The minimum assignment size will be /48 for all above assignments.

2001:07FA::/32 was used to make /64 or /48 assignments to Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). From 2007, new IXP assignments are no longer made from this range.

2001:0DE0::/29 is used to make /32 allocations for experimental purposes.

2001:0DB8::/32 is available to be used for documentation purposes (the remainder of 2001:0DB8:0000:/29 is reserved). Addresses from within this range are not to be announced to the global Internet. For more information, see RFC RFC 3849.

ASNs

4608 - 4864
7467 - 7722
9216 - 10239
17408 - 18431 *
23552 - 24575 *
37888 - 38911
45056 - 46079
2.0 - 2.1023  **

* Registration information for the AS numbers 17652 and 23889 has been transferred to the AfriNIC Whois Database.

** Four-byte AS numbers. APNIC will begin assigning these numbers on 1 January 2007.

APNIC is not involved in the domain name registration system.

Resource ranges by RIR

The following show the distribution of Internet resources to the Regional Internet Registries, historical allocations and reserved resource ranges.

For information on why the RIRs were established, see development of the Regional Internet Registry System in the Internet Protocol Journal.

Resource ranges and geographical data

APNIC does not provide a service which can accurately map Internet address resources to specific countries. However, each RIR produces monthly reports of data relating to allocations and assignments of IPv4, IPv6, and AS numbers within their region. This data can be used to provide approximate mapping of IP addresses to place of original allocation. You are welcome to create scripts that present the data in a way that suits your needs.

The data is a historical summary of the resources allocated, assigned, or reserved, including geographical information. Personal registration data, such as contact details and organisation names, is not included.

Note: these reports indicate where resources were first allocated or assigned. It is not intended that these reports be considered as an authoritative statement of the location in which any specific resource may currently be in use, as it is beyond the ability of the RIRs to accurately track this.

To find the appropriate RIR for your country, use our ISO 3166 lookup tool.

Note: APNIC uses an additional code, AP, to allow for networks that operate across more than one country or economy.
