Eligibility for a portable assignment
-------------------------------------

Multihoming: 

  Organisations seeking an IPv4 multihoming assignment must meet
  the criteria described in "Policies for Address Space Management
  in the Asia Pacific Region".
  
  In particular, an organisation is eligible to receive a portable
  assignment from APNIC if it:
  
  - is currently multihomed with provider-based addresses, or
    demonstrates a plan to multihome within one month; and 
      
  - agrees to renumber out of previously assigned address space.

  For more information, see:

     http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/add-manage-policy.html#11.1
     

Internet Exchange Point: 

  Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are eligible to receive a
  portable assignment from APNIC for use on their IXP transit LAN.
  IXPs may request the following assignment sizes:

    IPv4 -  a minimum assignment of /24 
    IPv6 -  a minimum assignment of /48
 
  APNIC may make multiple assignments of these sizes, where
  justified.
  
  For more information, see:

     http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/add-manage-policy.html#11.2


Critical Infrastructure: 

  Organisations seeking assignment for critical infrastructure must
  be an actual operator of the network infrastructure performing
  the following functions:
 
    - root domain name system (DNS) server 
    - global top level domain (gTLD) DNS server 
    - country code TLD (ccTLDs) DNS server
    - Regional Internet Registry (RIRs)
    - National Internet Registry (NIRs)
 
  These organisations are entitled to request the following
  assignment sizes:
 
    IPv4 -  a minimum assignment of /24 
    IPv6 -  a maximum assignment of /32 per operator
 
  For more information, see:
