This document aims to provide
the necessary information for those who wish to request PI IPv6
address space from AfriNIC.
IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignments
for End-Sites.
End-Sites are typically corporate and other organizations
that require IP addresses for use within their networks –
the IP addresses must never be used by third parties. Examples are
banks or other corporate type organizations that need own IP prefix
for purposes of multihoming or autonomy from their ISPs.
If you are not an AfriNIC member, please complete
your End User membership process as described in http://www.afrinic.net/membership/membership.htm.
Once this is done, please follow the procedure below.
If you are already an End user member, please follow
the steps below
Step 1: Check your eligibility
- The end-site must not be an IPv6 LIR
- The end-site must become an AfriNIC End User Member and pay
the normal AfriNIC fee for its membership category
- The end site must either:
- be a holder of IPv4 PI address space or
- qualify for an IPv4 PI assignment from AfriNIC under the IPv4
policy currently in effect.
- The end-site must justify the need for the IPv6 PI address
space.
- The 'end-site' must show a plan to use and announce the IPv6
provider independent address space within twelve (12) months.
After that period, if not announced, the assigned IPv6 PI address
