Just as APNIC must ensure correct allocation of address space to its members, APNIC members must also ensure correct assignment of address space to their own members and customers.

APNIC policies on assignment require all members to examine network design and projection of host numbers initially, after 1 year, and after 2 years.

Again, assignment must always maximise utilisation, and thus minimise wastage of address space.

At all levels of allocation and assignment, efficient address space management is vital for the future of the internet.
