The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) made an allocation of the equivalent of a /12 of IPv4 address space to AFRINIC and each of the other four RIRs in accordance with the "Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA". This policy states that the RIRs will each receive one-fifth of any recovered addresses in the IANA's recovered pool every six months, in March and September.

AFRINIC was allocated the IPv4 address range 45.96.0.0 - 45.111.255.255 from IANA's recovered pool.

AFRINIC and the RIPE NCC are pleased to announce the installation of a RIPE Atlas anchor on AFRINIC's infrastructure in Mauritius. The installation is part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two RIRs to increase collaborative efforts in the promotion of Internet development throughout their respective regions. 

The RIPE Atlas project is a global network of probes that measure Internet connectivity and reachability, providing an unprecedented understanding of the state of the Internet in real time. The data collected by the AFRINIC-hosted anchor, mu-plu-as32768, together with the project's other anchors and probes, is made available to anyone and provides valuable information about the local and regional connectivity and reachability of the Internet. 

Find out more about the RIPE Atlas Project and the RIPE Atlas community, its contributions, and the hosts who stand out in the RIPE Atlas network.
