Which organization or group of organizations receives IP addresses from IANA and is responsible for allocating these addresses to ISPs and some organizations?A. IETFB. IEEEC. RIRsD. Tier ISPs
The correct answer is C. RIRs, which stands for Regional Internet Registries.
The RIRs receive IP addresses from IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and are responsible for allocating and managing IP address resources within their respective regions. There are currently five RIRs:
1. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) serves North America and some Caribbean islands.
2. The Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) serves Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
3. The Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) serves the Asia-Pacific region.
4. The Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) serves Latin America and the Caribbean.
5. The African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) serves Africa.
These organizations allocate IP addresses to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), as well as to some large organizations and institutions within their regions, helping ensure the fair distribution of IP address resources on the internet.
