Last Updated
2008-05-13
Description
The allocation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv4) unicast address space is listed
here. References to the various other registries detailing the use of the IPv6 address
space can be found in the IPv6 Address Space registry [IANA registry ipv6-address-space].
Note
The assignable Global Unicast Address space is defined
in [RFC4291] as being the address block defined by the
prefix 2000::/3. All address space in this block not
listed in the table below is reserved by IANA for
future allocation.

This registry is also available in XML and plain text formats.
