- RIPE (Reseaux IP Europeens) is a collaborative organisation open to all
- European Internet service providers. The objective of RIPE is to ensure
- the necessary administrative and technical coordination to allow the
- operation of a pan-European IP network. RIPE does not operate a network
- of its own. RIPE is the IP activity of RARE.
-
- RIPE has been functioning since 1989. Currently more than 60
- organisations participate in the work. The result of the RIPE
- coordination effort is that the individual end-user is presented on his
- desk-top with a uniform IP service irrespective of the particular
- network his or her workstation is attached to. Today more than 170.000
- computers throughout Europe are reachable via networks coordinated by
- RIPE. The total number of systems reachable worldwide is estimated at
- more than 800.000.
