IPv6 Global Unicast Address Assignments Last Updated 2008-08-27 Description The allocation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) unicast address space is listed here. References to the various other registries detailing the use of the IPv6 address space can be found in the [IPv6 Address Space registry]. Note The assignable Global Unicast Address space is defined in [RFC4291] as being the address block defined by the prefix 2000::/3. All address space in this block not listed in the table below is reserved by IANA for future allocation. This registry is also available in plain text.

The more recent allocation (2006-10-03) incorporates these previous allocations. [6] 2800:0000::/23 was allocated on 17 Nov 05. The more recent allocation (2006-10-03) incorporates the previous allocation. [7] 2400:0000::/19 was allocated on 2005-05-20. 2400:2000::/19 was allocated on 2005-07-08. 2400:4000::/21 was allocated on 2005-08-08. 2404:0000::/23 was allocated on 2006-01-19.
