This is a list of countries by IPv4 address allocation.. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) distributes large blocks of addresses to regional Internet registries (RIRs), which then assign them to national Internet registries and local Internet registries within their respective service regions.

Starting 1991-06-01, was used to map Public Data Network addresses to IP addresses. Returned to IANA 2008-01-22. This network was reclaimed by IANA in 2007 and was subsequently re-allocated in 2010. See RFC 877 and RFC 1356 for historical information. [10] 15.0.0.0/8 ARIN: 1991-09
The network with the longest subnet mask or network prefix that matches the destination IP address is the next-hop network gateway. The process repeats until a packet is delivered to the destination host, or earlier along the route, when a router has no default route available and cannot route the packet otherwise.
APNIC offices. APNIC (the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) is the regional Internet address registry for the Asia–Pacific region. [3] It is one of the world's five RIRs and is part of the Number Resource Organization ().
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the network layer communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables internetworking , and essentially establishes the Internet .
In TCP/IP networks using Ethernet as the link layer the destination is always an IP address, however the next hop is not technically required to be of the same address family. As the packet needs to be forwarded on the link layer the next hop needs only to resolve to a link layer address such as a MAC address.
