9. Who are our APNIC Members in Lao?
Source: https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/organization/structure/members/
10. How do APNIC Members use IP
addresses?
• Data is sent over the Internet in discrete packets
– Each packet can be a few bytes, a few hundred bytes, or even larger
• Packets are sent from the ‘source’ to the ‘destination’
– When streaming a YouTube movie on your mobile phone:
• The YouTube server is mainly the source
• Your mobile phone is mainly the destination
• Every source and destination on the Internet must have an IP
address
– IPv4 example 203.0.113.15 (32-bit number)
– IPv6 example 2001:db8:200:ff:1:dc:77:ab (128-bit number)
12. Connecting to the Internet
202.178.112.0/24
2400:3E00:DD::/48 202.178.112.0/24
2400:3E00:DD::/48
Multi-homed network
MAY have a need for BGP and public ASN
Single-homed network
No need for public ASN
13. Why multihome with BGP and use a public
ASN?
Good interconnection strategy can
lower operation costs
Understanding your network traffic
could result in better overall network
experience
Path diversification allows you to
better evaluate interconnection
options and improve resiliency

23. Observation
• The networks in Lao are a good mix of ISPs, telcos and hosting
companies
• If the Lao Internet is going to grow similarly to other economies in
the South-east Asia region, are we likely to see more academic
and corporate companies deploy ASNs?
– Universities?
– Hosting/data centres?
– System integrators?
– Banks?
– And so forth
24. Looking ahead
• Regional trends
– Keeping traffic local by establishing multiple or bilateral peering
arrangements
– IXPs
– Rootservers
– Growth of local content
– eGov initiatives
– Hosting/cloud services
– Domestic eCommerce
– Domestic/regional news
– Entertainment (games, movies and so forth)
– Caching of international content

25. What are your thoughts?
• What’s the Internet experience like in Lao?
– From the point of view of consumers, academics, corporations, and
service providers?
• What will Lao’s Internet infrastructure look like in the future?

Brief introduction to internet number resource
APNIC’s role in the community
Located in Brisbane, Australia
Nearly 80 staff
A diverse staff which speaks 27 languages coming from all around the world.
APNIC is the RIR – Regional Internet Registry for the Asia Pacific. It is one of 5 RIRs operating in the world today.
The Regional Internet Registry system evolved over time, eventually dividing the world into five RIRs:
African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) for Africa
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) for the United States, Canada, several parts of the Caribbean region, and Antarctica.
Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Centre (LACNIC) for Latin America and parts of the Caribbean region
Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) for Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Central Asia
When we talk about each RIR, they consist of the Internet community as a whole in its region.
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) which is a coordinating body for the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and they facilitate the joint coordination of activities between the RIRs.
----- Meeting Notes (21/11/2014 14:01) -----
Duplicate
Internet number resources are distributed in a hierarchical manner. IANA is the central distribution organization, delegating resources to different RIRs. And then RIRs distribute their resources to LIR or ISPs based on their own policies.
Total direct membership for 2016 was 5,994. Current membership is 6,547, or around 8.4% growth from 2016.
There are currently 7,579 NIR members. Combined membership is 14,126

APNIC, other than being a registry for APNIC region, also supports the development of the community.
