Summary
APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre)
research legacy
APNIC-SERVICES is the network of APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for the
Asia-Pacific region. APNIC is the body that allocates IP addresses and AS numbers
across Asia and Oceania.
What it's used for
- APNIC's own infrastructure and member-facing services: the whois/RDAP registry, MyAPNIC, RPKI, reverse-DNS servers, and APNIC Labs measurement work.
Notable
- Not an ISP or a hosting provider. The address space carries registry and research infrastructure for the region, so traffic to it is mostly lookups and routing-data services rather than end users.
- APNIC is a non-profit membership organisation; its members are the ISPs and networks it issues resources to.
Interesting
- IANA delegates the AS block 4608-4865 to APNIC, and APNIC took the very first number in that block for itself.
- Sibling registries hold similarly memorable numbers, such as [AS3333](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS3333) for the RIPE NCC.
