A user wants to understand the global coordination of IP addresses. Please explain the hierarchical assignment process from IANA to end-users, list the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and their covered areas, and identify where a user can find detailed IPv4 and IPv6 allocation data for each RIR.
Navigate to 'https://www.iana.org/numbers'. Read the introductory text to understand the hierarchical assignment process of IP addresses. Locate the table listing the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and their respective geographical areas. Identify the links or sections that lead to detailed IPv4 and IPv6 allocation data for each RIR. Synthesize the information to describe the allocation process, list the RIRs and their areas, and explain how to find detailed allocation data.
The agent correctly describes the hierarchical IP address assignment from IANA to RIRs, then to LIRs/NIRs/ISPs, and finally to end-users. The agent lists all five RIRs: AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and RIPE NCC. The agent correctly states the geographical area covered by each RIR. The agent identifies that detailed IPv4 and IPv6 allocation data for each RIR can be found through links in the 'IP Address Allocations' section and the 'Number Resources' sidebar (e.g., 'IPv4 Address Space', 'IPv6 (AFRINIC)', etc.).
