Internet Addresses
Managed by ICANN
- Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
- Manages the assignment of both IP and application layer name space (domain names)
- Both assigned at the same time and in groups
- Manages some domains directly (e.g., .com, .org, .net) and
- Authorizes private companies to become domain name registrars as well
Example: Indiana University
- URLs that end in .indiana.edu and iu.edu
- IP addresses in the 129.79.x.x range (where x is any number between 0 and 255)
