(IANA) The central registry for various Internet protocol parameters, such as port, protocol & ent4erprise numbers, & options, codes & types.
The "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" assigns certain ports of the TCP/IP protocol to specific services. For instance, this standard uses port 80 for the HTTP protocol and port 20/21 for FTP.
The organization responsible for matching unique numerical addresses (IP addresses) to computer names for the Internet. Their web site is at http://www.iana.org/. See also Domain Naming Service (DNS), Internet, Internet Protocol, IP family.
The function that currently oversees registration for various Internet Protocol parameters, such as port numbers, protocol and enterprise numbers, options, codes, and types. The IANA function is currently located at the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California in Marina del Rey, California nternet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) The Internet Engineering Steering Group acts as the operational management arm of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). nternet Engineering Task Force (IETF) IETF is an international, voluntary body consisting of network designers, engineers, researchers, vendors, and other interested individuals who work together to address and resolve technical and operational problems on the Internet and develop Internet standards and protocols. The IETF, which was formed by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), meets three times a year, however the bulk of the collaboration and work takes place on the various mailing lists maintained by its participants.
The IANA is the authority originally responsible for the oversight of IP address allocation, the coordination of the assignment of protocol parameters provided for in Internet technical standards, and the management of the DNS, including the delegation of top-level domains and oversight of the root name server system. Under ICANN, the IANA continues to distribute addresses to the Regional Internet Registries, coordinate with the IETF and others to assign protocol parameters, and oversee the operation of the DNS.
Organization operated under the support of the Internet Society (ISOC); part of the Internet Architecture Board that delegates authority for IP address allocation and domain name assignment to the InterNIC.
A central registry for various Internet protocol parameters, such as port, protocol and enterprise numbers, and options, codes and types that has now been replaced by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) (qv).
The central registry for various Internet protocol parameters, such as port, protocol and enterprise numbers, and options, codes and types. The currently assigned values are listed in the "Assigned Numbers" document. If you'd like more information or want to request a number assignment, you can email IANA at "
[email protected]".
An organization that delegates IP addresses and their allocation to organizations such as the InterNIC.
A committee that oversees registration for various Internet protocol (IP) parameters (such as port numbers, protocol and enterprise numbers, options, codes, and types).
A function of ICANN: IANA records and publishes the use of the unique virtual resources such as IP addresses, domain names, protocol numbers, etc. See Also Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
The Internet group that assigns groups of IP addresses to organizations.
The body that oversees the allocation of numeric Internet addresses. There is a complex scheme for allocating numbers to a particular subnet. Most organisations are allocated a specific range of addresses, which they decide how to use.
The central registry for various Internet protocol parameters, such as port, protocol and enterprise numbers, and options, codes and types. The currently assigned values are listed in the "Assigned Numbers" document [STD2]. To request a number assignment, contact the IANA at "
[email protected]". See also: assigned numbers, STD.
An organization who oversees core internet infrastructure management parameters, including port assignments.
The entity that currently oversees registration for various Internet Protocol parameters, such as port numbers, protocol and enterprise numbers, options, codes, and types. The IANA function is currently located at the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California in Marina del Rey, CA. Website: www.iana.org
An internet central registry for the assigned values of the addresses (in the form of numbers) used in TCP/IP network protocol implementations.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the entity that oversees global IP address allocation, DNS root zone management, and other Internet protocol assignments. It is operated by ICANN.
