AMPRNet IP Coordination Germany
The German AMPRNet IP-Coordination is a working group which has been elected by the Community of all German Radioamateurs. It works in a kind of „AMPRNet National IP Registry (ANIR)“ for the german parts of the worldwide TCP/IP-network for Radio-Amateurs, also called NET-44 or AMPRNet. DL-IP-Coordination Germany is supported by regional IP-Coordinators in a kind of „AMPRNet Regional IP Registry (ARIR)“. In many german sub-regions these guys are the responsible persons for any questions, problems and requests from Radioamateurs out of those sub-regions concerning participation in the NET-44. ARIRs can manage their submitted IP-ressources independantly within the region they are responsible to.
