has anybody experience requesting a routable block from APNIC?
Ive a a customer on the philippines and would like to know if the apnic staff can be as picky as RIPE and ARIN when it comes to obtaining a routable ip-block.
Why, are they afraid that they will find out that they do not need it and refuse the application?
No way. I just wanted to know if the workload to be expected is the same as with ARIN and RIPE because i am doing this on a freelancer basis for ISP companies. Judging from the replies ive got so far now APNIC is as picky as RIPE and ARIN. It can be tough to get an routable assignment alltough the company really needs it, you know. And at least the RIPE became more and more picky within the last years. Like they allways want an deployment plan now which was only asked for on special occasion like 2-3 years ago. thanx for all that answered so far. regards, Arnd -- NetHead Network Design and Security Arnd Vehling av@nethead.De Gummersbacherstr. 27 Phone: +49 221 8809210 50679 Köln Fax : +49 221 8809212

i can relate to this.

picky is relative. i've worked with ARIN, RIPE and most recently APNIC. while they all have their oddnesses, generally i have found the delays are more so with teh applicant, not the registry. getting an allocation from RIPE was easiy enough. getting my clients (and their clients) to make reasonable requests was a whole different story. (RIPE gives you a block, but makes you justify every assignment before you can activate the subnet). i have found that once you follow the application/submission procedures, and your requests are realistic, there generally are no problems. my experience with ARIN has been limited, but again, once you followed the procedures, and filled in all the paperwork, things happened. your mileage may vary. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.ca ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ aka jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ]
