+RFC 7249 Internet Numbers Registries May 2014
+
+
+1. 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.

+
+
+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.

+
+
+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.
