Introduction + + In accordance with the IETF-IANA Memorandum of Understanding + [RFC2860], RFC 7020 [RFC7020] provides information about the Internet + Numbers Registry System and how it is used in the distribution of + autonomous system (AS) numbers and globally unique unicast Internet + Protocol (IP) address space. + + This companion document identifies the IANA registries that are part + of the Internet Numbers Registry System at this time. + +2. Internet Numbers Registries + + Three IANA registries are associated with the Internet Numbers + Registry System: "Autonomous System (AS) Numbers", "IANA IPv4 Address + Space Registry", and "IPv6 Global Unicast Address Assignments". + However, in each case, there are special-purpose values, and those + special-purpose values are outside the Internet Numbers Registry + System. + +2.1. Autonomous System Numbers + + For historical reasons, there are 16-bit AS numbers and 32-bit AS + numbers. However, the 16-bit AS numbers are really just zero through + 65535 of the 32-bit AS number space. + + The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved AS + numbers are handled by the Internet Numbers Registry System in + accordance with policies developed by the Regional Internet + Registries (RIRs) in accordance with their processes. + + Some special-purpose AS numbers have been reserved. Section 3 of + this document establishes an IANA registry for special-purpose AS + Numbers that have already been reserved. Future additions to this + registry can be made through "IETF Review" as defined in [RFC5226]. + Once a reservation is approved, it is recorded in the special-purpose + AS numbers registry with a reference to the IESG-approved RFC that + documents the reservation. + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Housley Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 7249 Internet Numbers Registries May 2014 + + +2.2. IPv4 Addresses + + The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved, + globally unique unicast IPv4 addresses are handled by the Internet + Numbers Registry System in accordance with policies developed by the + RIRs in accordance with their processes. + + Reservations of special-purpose IPv4 addresses can be found in the + IANA registry [IANA-IPv4-Reg]. Future additions to this registry can + be made through "IETF Review" as defined in [RFC5226]. Once a + reservation is approved, it is recorded in the special-purpose IPv4 + address registry with a reference to the IESG-approved RFC that + documents the reservation. + +2.3. IPv6 Addresses + + The vast bulk of the IPv6 address space (approximately 7/8ths of the + whole address space) is reserved by the IETF [RFC4291], with the + expectation that further assignment of globally unique unicast + address space will be made from this reserved space in accordance + with future needs. + + The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved + globally unique unicast IPv6 addresses are handled by the Internet + Numbers Registry System in accordance with policies developed by the + RIRs in accordance with their processes. + + Reservations of special-purpose IPv6 addresses can be found in the + IANA registry [IANA-IPv6-Reg]. Future additions to this registry can + be made through "IETF Review" as defined in [RFC5226]. Once a + reservation is approved, it is recorded in the special-purpose IPv6 + address registry with a reference to the IESG-approved RFC that + documents the reservation. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Housley Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 7249 Internet Numbers Registries May 2014 + + +3. IANA Considerations + + IANA has created the "Special-Purpose AS Numbers" registry. Future + additions to this registry can be made through "IETF Review" as + defined in [RFC5226]. At this time, the special-purpose AS numbers + are: + + AS Numbers Reason for Reservation + --------------------- ------------------------------------------- + 0 Reserved by [AS0-PROCESS] + 23456 AS_TRANS; reserved by [RFC6793] + 64496-64511 For documentation and sample code; reserved + by [RFC5398] + 64512-65534 For private use; reserved by [RFC6996] + 65535 Reserved by [RFC1930] + 65536-65551 For documentation and sample code; reserved + by [RFC5398] + 4200000000-4294967294 For private use; reserved by [RFC6996] + 4294967295 Reserved by [LAST-AS-RES] + +4. Security Considerations + + This document identifies the IANA registries that are part of the + Internet Numbers Registry System at the time of publication. It does + not change the security posture of the Internet in any way. + + Network operators should take care that special-purpose numbers and + addresses are used on the public Internet in a manner that is + consistent with their reserved purpose. + +5.
