RIPE

The Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre serves as the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. It manages the allocation and registration of IP address space and ASN resources for organizations operating within its service region.

RIPE Network Coordination Centre also maintains essential routing registries, supports measurement and security initiatives, and coordinates community-driven policy frameworks. Beyond resource management, it acts as a hub for collaboration among ISPs, academic networks, enterprise operators, and governments. Its open, community-based structure has made it one of the most influential forums for shaping internet operational standards in its region.
