  1. Introducing IANA Managing Number Resources Leo Vegoda Number Resources Manager – IANA October 2009

  2. Overview • What is IANA? • IANA History • Who am I? What do I do? • What are IP addresses? • What are AS Numbers? • How are Global Policies Developed? • RIR Fellowship Schemes • Relevant Session This Week

  3. What is IANA? The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated – and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA

  4. IANA History Someone had to keep track of all the protocols, the identifiers, networks and addresses and ultimately the names of all the things in the networked universe. And someone had to keep track of all the information that erupted with volcanic force from the intensity of the debates and discussions and endless invention that has continued unabated for 30 years. --Vint Cerf (RFC 2468) Jon Postel

  5. IANA Registries are Files (Plain text, XML and XHTML)

  6. IANA Today Same building. Same mission. New people. Barbara Roseman Michelle Cotton Amanda Baber Pearl Liang Kim Davies Naela Sarras Nadia Sokolova Leo Vegoda Mark McFadden Kim Davies

  7. Who am I? • Worked at 2 ISPs in London • Spent 6 years at the RIPE NCC in Amsterdam • Joined IANA in 2006 • Responsible for Number Resources & IANA Business Excellence

  8. IP addresses sit underneath the names we deal with. Like pipework under a car’s bonnet

  9. They are just numbers. We write them in a structured format to help people use them when necessary

  10. AS Numbers 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330 Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6601 USA • Much like a postcode gets a letter to a local post office, AS Numbers identify ISPs. In some ways, IP addresses are identifiers and AS Numbers are locators.

  11. Today’s InternetBGP Routing Mostly IPv4 Mean AS_PATH is 3 hops BGP Routing Table routeviews.org

  12. Policy for Allocating Numbers • The policies for allocating IP addresses and AS Numbers to the RIRs are called Global Policies • Global Policies are policies that require action by IANA • There are currently 4 Global Policies

  13. Global Policies • Global Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to RIRs • Global Policy for Allocation of IPv6 Address Space • Policy For Allocation of IPv4 Blocks to RIRs • Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space

  14. Recent IPv4 Statistics

  15. The Global Policy Development Process

  16. ASO AC Jean Robert Hountomey, AfriNIC Vincent Ngundi, AfriNIC Alan Barrett, AfriNIC Naresh Ajwani, APNIC Dr. Kenny S. Huang, APNIC Tomohiro Fujisaki, APNIC Louis Lee, ARIN Martin Hannigan, ARIN Jason Schiller, ARIN Sebastian Bellagamba, LACNIC Hartmut Glaser, LACNIC Francisco Obispo, LACNIC Dave Wilson, RIPE NCC Hans Petter Holen, RIPE NCC Wilfried Woeber, RIPE NCC Louis Lee

  17. How do I participate? Most policy development work is done on mailing lists. Anyone can join them and observe or participate in the discussion. Anyone can propose a policy. Most proposals start out as “what if” e-mails. Discussion also happens at six-monthly meetings. But all decisions at meetings are subject to “Last Call” e-mail reviews.
