RFC 6890: Special-Purpose IP Address Registries

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8190. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This memo reiterates the assignment of an IPv4 address block (192.0.0.0/24) to IANA. It also instructs IANA to restructure its IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries. Upon restructuring, the aforementioned registries will record all special-purpose address blocks, maintaining a common set of information regarding each address block.
