The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) announced that it passed the "Internet Resource Management Status Inspection" conducted by the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) on September 20.
APNIC is an international non-profit organization that manages and distributes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and Autonomous System (AS) numbers for 56 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific.
Since 2023, APNIC has been conducting inspections for member countries to verify the accuracy of Internet resource registrations and compliance with international policies. South Korea was included in this year's inspection.
The inspection focused on nearly a decade of Internet address allocation history. The countries under review included Taiwan, Vietnam, and India, among others, which manage IP addresses after receiving delegation from APNIC.
KISA, as the national Internet address management agency, submitted relevant data, including approximately 112 million IPv4 addresses and 5,261 IPv6 address blocks managed by 1,097 member organizations, including domestic telecommunications companies and businesses.
Lee Sang-jung, head of KISA, stated, "Accurate management of Internet resources is the foundation for stable Internet operation and routing security. We will continue to systematically manage address resources in accordance with international standards and create a safe Internet usage environment."
