Additional Questions area

The additional questions area is used to provide more information on any unclear aspects of your request.

Other details you may need to provide in additional comments

  • If this is your first request for an allocation from APNIC, you should use this section to explain why you are not able to obtain the required address space from your upstream ISP. Organisations are strongly encouraged to obtain addresses from their upstream ISP wherever possible.
  • If you wish to renumber out of any existing IPv4 address ranges, what are the details of the address ranges, and the name, phone number and email address of the organisation to which you will be returning those ranges. (If you already provided this information in the first-allocation-template, do not provide it again here.)
  • You should document your network topology via diagrams or provide detailed explanations for your address space usage and subnetting plans. Please note, you may also choose to send your network topology diagrams as graphic or presentation files.
  • Comments requested in the sections connectivity attribute.
  • You should provide further information on any aspect that is not otherwise clear.

Example:

Our network topology is as follows:
