IPv4 Global Unicast Address Assignments (last updated 2008-11-11) The allocation of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address space to various registries is listed here. Originally, all the IPv4 address spaces was managed directly by the IANA. Later parts of the address space were allocated to various other registries to manage for particular purposes or regional areas of the world. RFC 1466 [RFC1466] documents most of these allocations.

LEGACY: allocated by the central Internet Registry (IR) prior to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). This address space is now administered by individual RIRs as noted, including maintenance of WHOIS Directory and reverse DNS records. Assignments from these blocks are distributed globally on a regional basis. ALLOCATED: delegated entirely to specific RIR as indicated. UNALLOCATED: not yet allocated or reserved.
