Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers (IRINN)(IT)

♤ Indian Government has launched the National Internet Registry which will manage IP address allocations and other internet resources.

♤ NIR has been named Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers (IRINN) which is a division in National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).

♤ NIR functions under Regional Internet Registry (RIR) which is Asia Pacific Network Information Centre in Brisbane, Australia. APNIC manages IP address allocation and other internet resources for the Asia Pacific region.

♤ Earlier IP addresses had to be bought directly from APNIC which proved out to be time consuming and quite expensive. With NIR, buying IP addresses will become up to 70% cheap and will also help the country in cyber crime investigations.
