2. Internet Numbers Registries 2. Internet Numbers Registries
Portions of three IANA registries are associated with the Internet Three IANA registries are associated with the Internet Numbers
Numbers Registry System: AS Numbers, IPv4 Addresses, and IPv6 Registry System: AS Numbers, unicast IPv4 Addresses, and unicast IPv6
Addresses. Addresses. However, in each case, there are special-purpose values,
and those special-purpose values are outside the Internet Numbers
Registry System.
2.1. Autonomous System Numbers 2.1. Autonomous System Numbers
For historical reasons, there are 16-bit AS numbers and 32-bit AS For historical reasons, there are 16-bit AS numbers and 32-bit AS
numbers. However, the 16-bit AS numbers are really just zero through numbers. However, the 16-bit AS numbers are really just zero through
65535 of the 32-bit AS number space. 65535 of the 32-bit AS number space.
The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved AS The allocation and registration functions for all non-reserved AS
numbers are handled by the Internet Numbers Registry System in numbers are handled by the Internet Numbers Registry System in
accordance with policies developed by the Regional Internet accordance with policies developed by the Regional Internet
Registries (RIRs). Registries (RIRs) public policy development processes.
Reservations of special-purpose AS Numbers are made through Internet
Standards actions.
Internet Numbers Registries December 2013
At this time, the special-purpose AS numbers are: Some special-purpose AS numbers have been reserved. Section 3 of
this document establishes an IANA registry for special-purpose AS
Numbers that have already been reserved. Future additions to this
registry can be made through "IETF Review" as defined in [RFC5226].
Once a future reservation is approved, it is recorded in the special-
purpose AS numbers registry with a reference to the IESG-approved RFC
that documents the reservation.

Reservation of special-purpose IPv4 addresses are made through
Internet Standards actions. Reserved IPv4 unicast addresses are
registered in the Special Purpose IP address registries [RFC6890].
At this time, the special-purpose IPv4 unicast addresses are:

Internet Numbers Registries December 2013 Reservations of special-purpose IPv4 addresses can be found in the
IANA registry [IANA-IPv4-Reg]. Future additions to this registry can
be made through "IETF Review" as defined in [RFC5226]. Once a future
