Internet Numbers<br>
<br>
Internet Numbers (IN) are those which are stored into the registries listed and defined in RFC7249 [1].<br>
__<br>
[1]: RFC7249 - Internet Numbers Registries <<a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7249">https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7249</a>><br><br>
Internet Number Resources<br>
<br>
Internet Number Resources (INR) are the scarce resources, mentionned in RFC7020 [2], and uniquely allocated from the central Internet Numbers registries [1]; in order to be responsibly (based on global & regional Policies) distributed through the Internet Numbers Registry System (INRS) [2], and used in networking design, operations and testing (research, measurement). <br>
<br>
INRs are, practically, allocated from the central registries of Internet Numbers [1] and delegated to the Regional Internet Registries (RIR) for responsible distribution (assignment/allocation) to Local Internet Registries (LIR), ISPs and End Users, in need basis, in order to addressing, operating and testing (including research & measurement activities) their networks.<br>
