Additional IPv4 space now available from APNIC
________________________________________________________________________


APNIC Members can now apply for more IPv4 address space.

Members can now request a maximum of a /22 (or 1,024 addresses) from
IPv4 address blocks returned to APNIC by IANA. This is in addition to
the maximum of a /22 that Members can receive under 103/8 ("last /8").
This gives new or existing Members up to 2,048 of IPv4 addresses from
these address blocks.

This is a result of implementing prop-105: Distribution of returned IPv4
address blocks (Modification of prop-088).

      http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-105

Members can now apply using the online form via MyAPNIC. Applications
will still need to meet the current IPv4 policy criteria.

While this additional IPv4 address space is available, APNIC reiterates
the critical need to deploy IPv6 and encourages the community to work
towards transitioning to this protocol.
