History
In the beginning, the global IP address registry was simply a list of IP address ranges, along with details of the organizations to which these had been allocated. Of course as more organizations joined the Internet, this list grew. Before long this important role was formalized as IANA – the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. 1)
IANA could not scale to meet the demand for addresses or be able to service the wide range of different regional needs. In 1992, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) recommended that Internet number resources be managed by subsidiary organizations at a regional level.
As a result, the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were established to assume this regional allocation and management role in cooperation with IANA.
