* IP address allocation/assignment process is totally independent of domain name delegations. IP address management hierarchy (IANA -> Regional IRs -> ISPs/LIRs -> End users) is a logical consequence of the hierarchy of the global routing system.
Only a small fraction of the IP address space is allocated in this manner. Based on the limited information that I've seen, only about 30 /8s have been delegated to the regional IRs. A large portion of the IP address space has been allocated directly to some large, independent organizations, and a large portion remains available to the IANA for future allocations. Is this not accurate? Regards, Jay Fenello President, Iperdome, Inc. 404-250-3242 http://www.iperdome.com -------- Logged at Thu Apr 23 11:28:46 MET DST 1998 ---------
