![]() ![]() Organizations, ISPs, and governments within each RIR registers blocks of IP addresses and ASNs through their respective RIR, and earns the right to use the allocated IP numbers. Each RIR allocates Internet Number for their region, and work with other RIRs to ensure fair allocation of IP addresses. There are 5 RIRs: AFRINIC (Africa), APNIC (Asia-Pac), ARIN (American), LACNIC (Latin America), and RIPENCC (European). Under IANA, there are 5 RIRs (Regional Internet Registry) that allocate Internet Numbers which are comprised of IPv4 Addresses, IPv6 Addresses, and ASN within their respective regions. Within the ICANN, there is a sub-organization IANA that maintains technical aspect of the IP Address, ASNs and Root Zone management of DNS. How are IP addresses assigned?įrom our previous article, How are IP addresses assigned?, we learned that ICANN oversees IP Address and DNS management to ensure tye are unique across the world. To use another example, if you have a /16 network, you would have one /16 delegation and would be able to manage nameservers for only that /16.Every IP address is registered through IANA, and the organization that registered an IP block will have the right to use them as long as they remain active. In this example, you are able to delegate one set of nameservers to the first delegation and another set of nameservers to the second delegation. ![]() For each CIDR block in the Direct Allocation, the largest possible delegations will be created.įor example, in IPv4, you could have a /23 network issued by ARIN that is comprised of two /24 delegations. However, delegation sizes are determined by the sizes of the CIDR blocks that make up a given Direct Allocation of network resources from ARIN. ARIN supports delegations for CIDR-aligned blocks for size /24 and larger. Delegations can be managed in IPv4 on bit boundaries (/8, /16 or /24s), and IPv6 networks can be managed on nibble boundaries (every 4 bits of the IPv6 address). Managing Reverse DNS DelegationsĪRIN’s delegation management tools enable you to individually manage each reverse delegation within both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. ARIN requires organizations to maintain their PTR records for their associated networks in order to keep reverse DNS running smoothly. Each IP address associated with a domain has a record within at least one of these domains, known as a pointer (PTR) record. The reverse DNS database is rooted under two specific domains: in-addr.arpa for IPv4, and ip6.arpa for IPv6. ![]()
