Abstract
IP address distribution follows the hierarchical scheme described in RFC 1466. For Latin America and the Caribbean, IANA allocates IP address space to LACNIC for its allocation and assignment to National Internet Registries (NIRs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and end users. In addition, administration of Autonomous Number Systems and inverse resolution space are critical components for the efficient operation of the Internet on a global level. This document describes the Policies relating to the allocation, assignment and administration of IPv4 address space, ASN, and delegation of inverse resolution space allocated to Latin America and the Caribbean. These policies must be followed by NIRs, ISPs, and end users.
