The Internet Numbers Registry System
Abstract
This document provides information about the current Internet Numbers
Registry System used in the distribution of globally unique Internet
Protocol (IP) address space and autonomous system (AS) numbers.
This document also provides information about the processes for
further evolution of the Internet Numbers Registry System.
This document replaces RFC 2050.
This document does not propose any changes to the current Internet
Numbers Registry System. Rather, it documents the Internet Numbers
Registry System as it works today.

1. Introduction
The administrative structures of the Internet Numbers Registry System
described in this document are largely the result of the interaction
of operational practices, existing routing technology, number
resource assignments that have occurred over time, and network
architectural history. Further discussion and analysis of these
interactions are outside the scope of this document.
This document provides information about the current Internet Numbers
Registry System used in the distribution of globally unique Internet
Protocol (IP) address space and autonomous system (AS) numbers. It
also describes the processes used for further evolution of the
Internet Numbers Registry System. This document does not propose any
changes to the current operation of this system.
This document replaces RFC 2050. Since the publication of RFC 2050,
the Internet Numbers Registry System has changed significantly. This
document describes the present Internet Numbers Registry System.
