Map of the Internet<br>The IPv4 Space, 2006<br>This chart shows the IP address space on a plane using a fractal mapping which preserves grouping--any consecutive string of IPs will translate to a single, compact, contiguous region on the map. Each of the 256 numbered blocks represents one<br>8 subnet (containing all IPs that start with that number). The upper left section shows the blocks sold directly to corporations and coverments in the 1990's before the RIRs took over allocation.<br>[[Diagram displaying IP addresses using Hibbert Curve]]<br>Diagram showing IP ownership:<br>0: Local<br>1-2: Unallocated<br>3: General Electric<br>4: BB&N INC<br>5: Unallocated<br>6: Army AISC<br>7: Unallocated<br>8: BB&N INC<br>9: IBM<br>10: VPNs<br>11: DoD Intel<br>12: Bell Labs<br>13: Xerox<br>14: Public data nets<br>15: HP<br>16: DEC<br>17: Apple<br>18: MIT<br>19: Ford<br>20: CSC<br>21: DDN-RYN<br>22: DISA<br>23: Unallocated<br>24: Cable TV<br>25: UK MoD<br>26: DISA<br>27: Unallocated<br>28: DSI<br>29-30: DISA<br>31: Unallocated<br>32: NORSK<br>33: DLA<br>34: Halliburton<br>35: Merit<br>36-37: Unallocated<br>38: PSI<br>39: Unallocated<br>40: Eli Lily<br>41: ARINIC<br>42: Unallocated<br>43: Japan INET<br>44: HAM Radio<br>45: INTEROP<br>46: BB&N INC<br>47: Bell North<br>48: Prudential<br>49-50: Unallocated<br>51: UK Social Security<br>52: duPont<br>55: Boeing<br>56: USPS<br>57: SITA<br>58-61: Asia-Pacific<br>62: Europe<br>63-76: USA & Canada (contains: UUNET, Google, Digg, Slashdot, Ebay, Craigslist, XKCD, Flickr)<br>77-79: Europe (unused)<br>80-91: Europe<br>92-95: Unallocated<br>96-99: North America<br>100-120: Unallocated<br>121-125: Asia-Pacific<br>126: Japan<br>127: Loopback<br>128-132: Various Registrars<br>133: Japan<br>134-172: Various Registrars<br>173-189: Unallocated<br>188: Various<br>189-190: Latin America & Caribbean<br>191-192: Various (contains Private (RFC 1918)<br>193-195: Europe<br>196: Africa<br>197: Unallocated<br>198: US & Various<br>199: North America<br>200-201: Latin America & Carribbean<br>202-203: Asia-Pacific<br>204-209: North America (contains Suicide Girls, BoingBoing)<br>210-211: Asia-Pacific<br>212-213: Europe<br>214-215: U.S. Department of Defense<br>216: North America (Contains Myspace, SomethingAwful)<br>217: Europe<br>218-222: Asia-Pacific<br>223: Unallocated<br>224-239: Multicast<br>240-255: Unallocated<br>{{alt: For the IPv6 map just imagine the XP default desktop picture.}}
