AFRINIC (African Network Information Centre) is the regional Internet registry (RIR)[1] for Africa. Its headquarters[2] are in Ebene, Mauritius.
Before AFRINIC was formed, IP addresses (IPv6 and IPv4) for Africa were distributed by the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), and the RIPE NCC. ICANN provisionally recognized AFRINIC on 11 October 2004.[3] The registry became operational on 22 February 2005. ICANN gave it final recognition[4] in April 2005.
