However, an Again, Kazakhstan’s higher number of networks compared RIPE NCC Internet Country Report: Central Asia | 2020 5 RIPE NER CRINAIN CENRE Figure 3: IPv4 Address Space in Central Asia IPv4 holdings over time Until 2012, RIPE NCC members could receive larger amounts of IPv4 address space based on demonstrated Number of addresses need. When the RIPE NCC reached the last /8 of IPv4 address space in 2012, the RIPE community instituted a ,500k policy allowing new LIRs to receive a small allocation of IPv4 in order to help them make the transition to IPv6, the next generation protocol that includes enough IP addresses for ,000k the foreseeable future. In November 2019, the RIPE NCC made the last of these allocations and a waiting list now exists whereby organisations who have never received IPv4 from the RIPE NCC can receive an even smaller allocation if 2,500k and when enough address space is recovered (occasionally member accounts are closed and address space is returned to the RIPE NCC). 2,000k Even before 2012, there wasn’t much of an increase in the number of IPv4 addresses held by LIRs in Central Asia – the exception again being Kazakhstan, which saw huge growth in its amount of IPv4 address space in the years leading 1,500k up to 2012 (when the change in allocation size took place). Since then, growth has tapered off, as LIRs could receive only a small, final IPv4 allocation of 1,024 addresses. 1,000k With more than 3.1 million IPv4 addresses, Kazakhstan clearly dominates the region. Still, the country has only one IPv4 address for every six people – far less than we see in other parts of the RIPE NCC’s service region. The other 500k countries in the region range between having one address for every 24 people (Kyrgyzstan) to one address for every 400 people (Turkmenistan). 0 2004 2005 200 200 200 200 2010 2011 2012 201 2014 2015 201 201 201 201 2020 KZ KG UZ TJ TM RIPE NCC Internet Country Report: Central Asia | 2020 6 RIPE NER CRINAIN CENRE Figure 4: Fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 people over time It’s important to note that a low address-to-population ratio doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be impossible for 15 a country to provide connectivity to all its citizens, even in a region like Central Asia where fixed broadband isn’t as widely 12 available as many other areas (and is almost non-existent in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan). The region’s landlocked 9 countries and mountainous geography obviously pose major challenges to its ability to provide ubiquitous broadband access, particularly in rural areas. In addition, 6 the market was late to develop in the region compared to much of Europe and North America, which resulted in rapid 3 growth in the mobile rather than broadband market.

In Latin America, there are still some deficiencies in this regard which result in many people experiencing high latencies in their connections. The main reason for these latencies is the lack of local interconnection between different network operators, which means that traffic between nearby countries must often use distant Internet exchange points, located in the United States or Europe. The deployment of various Internet exchange points (IXPs) has helped improve this situation, although the actual status of connectivity between countries and networks remains a mystery. To find answers to these unknowns, some time ago LACNIC created Simón1, a project that seeks to generate information by measuring latency levels between countries and in this way estimate traffic volumes.

Cybercrime refers to any crime that involves a computer and network, where computer may or may not play an instrumental part in the commission of the crime. Detection and investigation of cybercrime can likewise be difficult because busy network traffic and frequent online transactions generate large amounts of data, only a small portion of which relates to illegal activities. In this paper, we are focusing on technologies that can help to improve the effective investigation of cybercrime, facilitate police work and enable investigators to allocate their time to other tasks. We have developed an IP mapping tool called MIPA that combines online mapping techniques and IP geolocation technology, and uses application functionality from disparate web sources. The emergence of the Web 2.0 and user-friendly online mapping techniques have created public interest in contributing information through Web- enabled geospatial tools.

A urry of recent 14 research has quantied this, highlighting the expansion of its underlying connectivity network. However, improving the infrastructure 15 is not useful without appropriately provisioned services to exploit it. This paper measures the availability and utilisation of web 16 17 infrastructure in Africa. Whereas others have explored web infrastructure in developed regions, we shed light on practices in developing 18 regions. To achieve this, we apply a comprehensive measurement methodology to collect data from a variety of sources. We rst focus 19 on Google to reveal that its content infrastructure in Africa is, indeed, expanding. That said, we nd that much of its web content is still 20 served from the US and Europe, despite being the most popular website in many African countries. We repeat the same analysis across 21 a number of other regionally popular websites to nd that even top African websites prefer to host their content abroad. To explore 22 the reasons for this, we evaluate some of the major bottlenecks facing content delivery networks (CDNs) in Africa.

  • IANA Report on Recognition of Afrinic As a Regional Internet Registry
    IANA Report Subject: Recognition of AfriNIC as a Regional Internet Registry Date: 6 April 2005 The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (the IANA), as part of the administrative functions associated with management of the Internet Protocol (IP) address space, is responsible for evaluating applications for approval of new Regional Internet Registries. ICANN has received an application for final approval and recognition of the African Internet Numbers Registry (AfriNIC) as the fifth Regional Internet Registry (RIR). Background The role and responsibilities of ICANN/IANA in this area are defined in the Address Supporting Organization Memorandum of Understanding <http://www.icann.org/aso/aso- mou-29oct04.htm> (ASO MOU), and ICP-2 <http://www.icann.org/icp/icp-2.htm> ("Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries"). In September 2004, an application was submitted by the AfriNIC organization for recognition, together with a detailed transition which included draft bylaws, policies, funding model, and staff resumes. On request of the ICANN President, the IANA staff conducted a preliminary evaluation. In September 2004 the President reported to the Board his conclusion that the application and transition plan constituted a reasonable basis for eventual recognition, though he noted that some adjustments would be necessary. Also in September 2004, the existing RIRs, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE NCC, through the Number Resource Organization (NRO), issued a statement expressing their ongoing and continuing support for AfriNIC, and recommending a favorable response to the application by recognizing AfriNIC's accomplishments thus far. Consistent with the IANA©s preliminary evaluation and the recommendations of the existing RIRs, the ICANN Board on 30 September 2004 gave provisional approval <http://www.icann.org/minutes/resolutions-30sep04.htm> to the AfriNIC application, with the expectation that the transition plan would be completed and an amended or revised application for recognition would be submitted.

It examines growth trends and the optimisation of Internet routing in the region and evaluates the efficiency of our K-root service, which is part of the global Domain Name System (DNS). The report focuses on what we can observe and measure from RIPE NCC services and measurement infrastructure in the region. With a greater number of data collection points and more information sharing between stakeholders in the region, we would be able to provide an even more detailed and complete analysis of the situation in the future. To this end, the report also contains information on how all stakeholders can help support further analysis. Growing Internet Use in the GCC “High penetration across the board” In recent years, the percentage of people using the Internet across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries has continued to rise, sometimes steadily, sometimes quite sharply. If we compare the situation at the end of 2017 to the situation in 2010, we see that the proportion of people using the Internet in this group of countries has risen by an average of approximately 35%. Figure 1 provides an overview of the rise in the number of Internet users in the GCC against the backdrop of population growth. Figure 1: Growth in the number of Internet users per GCC country (indicated by dotted lines) and growth in population (indicated by shaded areas) from 2010 to the end of 2017.
