The form included with this document comprises the Asia Pacific Network
Information Center (APNIC) IP network address application form.  While this
form is accepted by the APNIC, national, and other Internet Registries across
the Asia Pacific region and it will allow you to request an IP network address,
if you are served by a national or other local Internet Registry you may be
able to obtain a similar form in the local language and should use that form if
possible.

The previously centralized procedures for obtaining IP network addresses
from the Global Internet Registry (now the InterNIC and formerly known as
nic.ddn.mil or sri-nic) have been replaced by a distributed system whereby
applications for IP network addresses are processed by a hierarchy of Internet
Registries.  This hierarchy is graphically portrayed in the figure below:


                            Global
                           Registry
                          (InterNIC)
                         /     |    \
                        /      |     \
                Regional      ...     Regional
                Registry              Registry
               /(APNIC) \            (RIPE NCC)
              /    |     \
             /     |      \
     National    Local     National

                         /    |     \
                    Local    ...     Local
                 Registry            Registry


The Global Internet Registry (InterNIC) delegates blocks of IP addresses to the
Regional Registries, one such being the APNIC which supports the Asia Pacific
region.  The Regional Registries in turn delegate blocks of IP addresses to
national or other local registries, if such organizations exist.  The local or
national registry may further delegate blocks of addresses to other local
registries such as service providers, depending on the country or region.
Thus, the distribution of IP network addresses is delegated to organizations
closer to the actual user of the addresses.

Accompanying this document and the application form itself are a group of notes
which are intended to help you complete your network address application.
Please read the accompanying notes carefully prior to filling in your
application.  When you have completed your application, you should submit it to
the level of the Internet registry hierarchy nearest you.  In most cases, you
will be able to submit your application to your local or national Internet
registry.  If no such registry exists, you may submit your form to the APNIC.

Regardless of whether you are applying for class B or C addresses, you should
always make your application to the Internet registry nearest you.  In the case
of class B addresses however, assignments are only made by the global Internet
registry or by a Regional Internet registry.  If your local or national
Internet registry determines that your application for a class B address is
justified, the application will be forwarded to the APNIC for further
evaluation.  See the accompanying document "Additional Hints for Organizations
Requesting Class B Network Addresses" for more details.

If you have any questions regarding the address allocation procedures,
documentation, or the forms provided, please do not hesitate to contact your
nearest Internet registry or the APNIC.
