In The Beginning
RFC 790 1981

• The assignment of numbers is also handled by
  Jon. If you are developing a protocol or

Number Resource Organization24 October 2003
Formed by the Regional Internet Registries to
formalize their cooperative efforts, the NRO
exists to protect the unallocated Number
Resource pool, to promote and protect the bottom
up policy development process, and to act as a
focal point for Internet community input into the
RIR system.

How does an RIR ManageIP Address Space?
22
Why Manage IP Address Space?
Address Space Constraints Require Good Stewardship

• Technical Requirements
• Defined Characteristics Create a Finite Common
  Resource
• Network Topology Realities
• Prevent Capricious Consumption
• Ensure Fair Distribution to All
