Decomposition of the quad-dotted IPv4 address representation to its binary value. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses which limits the address space to 4 294 967 296 (2 32) addresses. IPv4 reserves special address blocks for private networks (2 24 + 2 20 + 2 16 ≈ 18 million addresses) and multicast addresses (2 28 ≈ 268 million addresses).
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.

There are two primary types of IP addresses in use today: IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6). ... The IANA created blocks of IP addresses, assigning them to regions throughout the world ...
Address block 169.254.0.0 / 16 is defined for the special use of link-local addressing for IPv4 networks. [14] In IPv6, every interface, whether using static or dynamic addresses, also receives a link-local address automatically in the block fe80:: / 10 . [ 14 ]
IPv4 reserves the entire class A address block 127.0.0.0 / 8 for use as private loopback addresses. IPv6 reserves the single address ::1 . Some are advocating reducing 127.0.0.0 / 8 to 127.0.0.0 / 16 .
Addresses in the range 224.0.1.0 to 224.0.1.255 are individually assigned by IANA and designated as the internetwork control block. This block of addresses is used for traffic that must be routed through the public Internet, such as for applications of the Network Time Protocol using 224.0.1.1.
