In the Internet addressing architecture, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) have reserved various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for special purposes.[1]
IPv4
IPv4 designates special usage or applications for various addresses or address blocks:[1][2]
IPv6
IPv6 assigns special uses or applications for various IP addresses:[1]
