2. APNIC Eco System
• At the very end of a network there is an Internet
user
• Users get their Internet connection from access
providers, fixed or wireless
• There are also many enabling organizations that
help the Internet to grow seamlessly as a single,
global, interoperable network: governments and
regulators, industry associations, network
operator groups, standards bodies, name
registries, and the number registries.
• APNIC is one of the five Regional Internet
Registries (RIRs) that distribute and manage
Internet number resources in the Asia Pacific
region.

3. IP addresses and AS Number
• Independent Internet Number
Resources:
⎯ Put you in control of your IP
addresses within your network
⎯ Improve network stability, flexibility
and reliability
⎯ Allows you to choose your peering
and upstream providers
⎯ Reduce network migration risks and
complexities
• ISPs, Telcos, Data Centers,
Cloud/Hosting Providers, Enterprise
networks can obtain portable IP
addresses and AS number

4. Campus Network
• Need for independent public IP
addresses and AS number:
⎯ As an information/service producer
(ie. student online portal, social
media, apps)
⎯ Secure network for payment
transaction processing
• Better network availability and
reliability
