Number-related Registries

These are the registries we maintain for the three core number resource types: IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, and Autonomous System Numbers.

Registry Description
Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4)
IPv4 Address SpaceThe top-level delegation of the IPv4 unicast address space.
IPv4 Multicast Address SpaceAssignments within the IPv4 multicast address range.
IPv4 Special-Purpose Address SpaceAddress blocks reserved for special uses, such as private networks and documentation.
IPv4 Recovered Address SpaceAddress space returned to IANA and redistributed to the RIRs.
RDAP Bootstrap for IPv4The registration data service operators for each IPv4 address range.
Locally Served DNS ZonesReverse DNS zones for private and special-use addresses that should be answered locally (covers IPv4 and IPv6).
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
IPv6 Address SpaceThe top-level delegation of the IPv6 address space.
IPv6 Global Unicast Address SpaceAllocations of global unicast address blocks, primarily to the RIRs.
IPv6 Anycast Address SpaceReserved anycast addresses within IPv6.
IPv6 Multicast Address SpaceAssignments within the IPv6 multicast address range.
IPv6 Special-Purpose Address SpaceAddress blocks reserved for special uses, such as documentation and translation mechanisms.
IPv6 Sub-TLA AssignmentsA deprecated historical registry from the early IPv6 allocation scheme.
RDAP Bootstrap for IPv6The registration data service operators for each IPv6 address range.
Autonomous System Numbers
Autonomous System NumbersAllocations of AS number blocks, primarily to the RIRs.
Special-Purpose AS NumbersAS numbers reserved for special uses, such as documentation and private use.
RDAP Bootstrap for AS NumbersThe registration data service operators for each AS number range.
