IPv4, IPv6, and ASNs in Tunisia: A Look at Internet Resource Management
Tunisia’s digital landscape is steadily evolving in its approach to managing Internet resources. The country currently has 24 members of AFRINIC, the African Network Information Centre, allowing them to directly obtain Internet resources like IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). This direct access signifies growing maturity in Tunisia’s internet infrastructure. However, despite this progress, a significant portion of Tunisian organizations still rely on their Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which could potentially affect the resilience and security of their operations.

The shift towards more direct control over Internet resources is a key trend in Tunisia. AFRINIC actively promotes the idea of end-users, especially businesses, obtaining their own digital resources rather than leasing them. This strategy empowers organizations by giving them greater autonomy over their online presence. The Internet Measurement Day Tunisie 2025, held in Tunis on October 14th, underscored this point. The event, co-organized by ICANN and AFRINIC, in collaboration with RIPE NCC (the European registry) and the Internet Society (ISOC), and hosted by Sofrecom, aimed to educate stakeholders in the digital sector about the advantages of directly managing their own Limit to save tokens
