The RIPE Network Coordination Center performs activities for the benefit of Internet service providers (ISPs) in Europe and surrounding areas (Middle East, and parts of Asia and Africa); primarily activities that the ISPs need to organize as a group, although they may be competing with each other in other areas.

The RIPE NCC acts as the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Europe and surrounding areas. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocates blocks of IP address space to Regional Internet Registries. RIPE NCC allocates blocks of IP address space to its Local Internet Registries (LIRs), who assign the addresses to end users. At the moment RIPE NCC supports over 1100 Local Internet Registries, who provide funds for its services.

Local Internet Registries that offer services in conjunction with RIPE NCC in Iran are the following.
