Pre 1992

RFC 7901981

“The assignment of numbers is also handled by Jon. If you are developing a protocol or application that will require the use of a link, socket, port, protocol, or network number please contact Jon to receive a number assignment.”

IP Addressing

• What is an IP Address?

• How is IP Address Space Managed?

30 April 2003 ITU SG2, Geneva, Switzerland Axel Pawlik, RIPE NCC

What is an IP Address?

• A Number Used for Routing

• Not Dependent on Domain Name System

• A Finite Public Resource

• Not Owned

• IP Does Not Mean “Intellectual Property”

30 April 2003 ITU SG2, Geneva, Switzerland Axel Pawlik, RIPE NCC

How is IP Address Space Managed

• Address Space Management Objectives

• Implementation of Policy

30 April 2003 ITU SG2, Geneva, Switzerland Axel Pawlik, RIPE NCC

Aggregation Registration

Conservation

Address Management Objectives

• Efficient Use of Resources

• Allocation Based on Need

• Limit Routing Table Growth

• Support Provider-Based Routing Policies

• Ensure Uniqueness

• Trouble Shooting
