Introduction This is a direction to [IANA] concerning the creation and management of the IANA IPv4 Special Purpose Address Registry. The registry will be used for recording IETF protocol assignments from 192.0.0.0/24 and any other address prefixes allocated to the registry in the future, as described in Section 3. 2. IANA IPv4 Special Purpose Address Block [RFC5735] records the assignment of an IPv4 address prefix to IANA for IETF protocol assignments. 192.0.0.0/24 - This block is reserved for IETF protocol assignments. This address allocation to IANA is intended to support IETF protocol assignments. A more general view of the roles of IANA with respect to address allocation functions is documented in [RFC2860]: 4.3. [...] Note that [...] (b) assignments of specialised address blocks (such as multicast or anycast blocks), and (c) experimental assignments are not considered to be policy issues, and shall remain subject to the provisions of this Section 4. (For purposes of this MOU, the term "assignments" includes allocations.) The reference to Section 4 here is to the general technical work for the IANA as described in [RFC2860]: 4.1. The IANA will assign and register Internet protocol parameters only as directed by the criteria and procedures specified in RFCs, including Proposed, Draft, and full Internet Standards and Best Current Practice documents, and any other RFC that calls for IANA assignment. This document directs IANA to designate special purpose address blocks in compliance with [RFC2860]. Huston, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 5736 IPv4 Special Registry January 2010 This document directs IANA to open an IPv4 Special Purpose Address Registry for the management of these IANA-designated address blocks. Special Purpose registrations to be made from this registry include addresses for IETF protocol assignments and other special purpose cases, as documented in IESG-reviewed RFCs, according to the provisions described in Section 4.1 of [RFC2860]. 3. IANA Considerations IANA maintains an "IANA IPv4 Special Purpose Address Registry". The registry records current IANA address designations from the IANA-Show full document text
