IPv6 Addressing
Assignment #1-IPv6 Addressing
1. Research the following organizations and explain their involvement with the Internet public IP addresses:
A. American Registry for Internal Numbers (ARIN): ARIN is the (RIR) Regional Internet Registry for Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, and the United States. It was formed in 1997, after the (IANA) Internet Assigned Numbers Authority in affiliation with Network Solutions Corporation turned over responsibility. It manages the distribution of Internet number resources, IPv4 and IPv6 address space and also AS numbers (Autonomous System), develops consensus based policies, and facilitates the advancement of the internet.
B. Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA): The IANA was founded by the U.S. government (Department of Defense) in 1988. It oversees global IP address allocation, root zone management in the DNS (Domain Name System), media types, and other Internet Protocol symbols and numbers. This department is operated by the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), under a United States Department of Commerce contract. IANA delegate’s allocations of IP address blocks to requesting Regional Registries as needed.
C. Asia-Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC): APNIC was established in 1992, originally in Japan but due to restrictive growth was relocated to Brisbane Australia. It is the Regional Internet Registry for the Asia-Pacific region. It provides number resource allocation and registration services that support the global operation of the Internet. They also allocate IPv4 and IPv6 address space and Autonomous System numbers, but they represent the interest of the Asia-Pacific Internet community on a global stage comprising 56 economies.
2. Approximately how many IPv4 addresses are possible? Approximately 4.3 Billion.
3. Approximately how many IPv6 addresses are possible? 3.403 * 1038.
4. Why do you think the world is running out of Ipv4 addresses? The world
