IANA IPv4 Address Space Registry Last Updated 2011-02-03 Description The allocation of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address space to various registries is listed here. Originally, all the IPv4 address spaces was managed directly by the IANA. Later parts of the address space were allocated to various other registries to manage for particular purposes or regional areas of the world. RFC 1466 [RFC1466] documents most of these allocations. This registry is also available in plain text.
