Help your customers get Internet number resources
Did you know APNIC offers a facility in MyAPNIC that allows existing Members to apply for Internet number resources (IP addresses and AS numbers) on behalf of their downstream customers?
Known as a ‘Referral Application’ Members can apply for Internet number resources, including IPv4 addresses, using MyAPNIC for their growing customer base.
If you’re a customer of an existing Member, you can verify whether they are APNIC Members by visiting this webpage. For additional information, feel free to reach out to our Helpdesk team. Since 2014, more than 170 Members have used the referral application to sign up more than 325 of their customers! Discover how you can leverage this opportunity to grow your network.
Complete the referral application today. Access MyAPNIC or contact our Helpdesk Team for assistance.
It’s easy! Simply complete the Referral Application form via MyAPNIC:
- Navigate to ‘Member Account Settings’
- Select ‘Referral Application for Your Customer’
After lodging the form, your customers will be asked to authorize the application. APNIC Members can initiate and track the progress of referral applications, ensuring efficient resource allocation.
To be eligible for the Referral Program, you must meet the following criteria:
APNIC membership
Only current APNIC Members can apply for the referral program.
Customer consent
Members must obtain consent from their customers to apply for Internet number resources on their behalf.
Resource justification
Members must provide justification for the IP address space requested, demonstrating the need for additional resources.
Important information to note
Like any requests for Internet number resources, you will have to meet the relevant policy criteria for approval. An APNIC Member account will be created for your customer, and they will be the custodian of the resources, even though you have lodged the application on their behalf.
If you work with APNIC on their behalf in the future, you can be added as an authorized contact for their account.
- Build relationships with your customers: Help your customers get IPv4 addresses. Foster trust and drive long-term loyalty and satisfaction.
- Streamlined process: Accelerate the resource allocation process on behalf of your customers.
- Cost savings: It’s a cost-effective alternative to market transfers for IPv4 addresses.
- Scalability: It allows you to scale by gaining more control of your own resources. If a customer is referred and they have received their own IPv4 addresses, this means that your organization will be able to free up your own IPv4 space and attract new customers that need IPv4 addresses.
- Enhanced Data Protection and Security Alerts: Once you become an authorized contact for your Customers Organization, you can also get notified of any routing issue or suspicious traffic within their network. This allows you to quickly identify the source of the problem and respond promptly to any suspicious activity. Additionally, you can also create ROAs (Route Origin Authorizations) to improve your customers’ security.
- Limited availability: With the decreasing availability of IPv4, this is a limited-time opportunity.
- Authorization process: Guarantees clarity and responsibility in the allocation of Internet number resources.
- Enhanced customer service: Streamlined and hassle-free IP and AS number acquisition improves customer satisfaction. It also addresses your customers’ lack of understanding and fear of managing portable IP addresses and BGP.
- No need for outsourcing: Since your customers are becoming APNIC Members, you can manage their organization’s Internet number resources directly with our services, eliminating the need for third-party software or additional hires. This allows you to invest in more valuable projects to support your business goals. Just reach out to us for assistance!
- Protect your data and get security alerts: Protect your data by getting alerts for any network problems or suspicious activity with APNIC’s network health dashboard (DASH). Additionally, you can monitor your network traffic in real-time and take immediate action if something looks wrong. Your organization can also create ROAs (Route Origin Authorizations) to boost your network’s routing security. This proactive approach helps keep your data safe and secure.
- Scalability: Your customers will be getting their own Internet number resources, allowing them to manage and control these resources, including efficiently managing their growth using multiple data centres or upstream providers if necessary.
The referral application has helped us build stronger relationships with our customers by providing them with portable IPs.
