  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Regional Internet Registry
The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Canada, the United States, and portions of the Caribbean.
Regional Internet Registries are established and authorised by respective regional communities and recognised by the IANA to serve and represent large geographical regions.
Internet address space must be registered in a registry database accessible to appropriate members of the Internet community.

  IP address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP) for a computer or other network device on the internet.
The static address can be configured directly on the device or as part of a central DHCP configuration which associates the device's MAC address with a static address.
This reduces the number of addresses that can be allocated as public Internet addresses, and as the number of addresses available is consumed, an IPv4 address shortage appears to be inevitable in the long run.

 Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) is the Regional Internet Registry for Latin America and the Caribbean.
LACNIC was established in 2001, with administrative offices in Montevideo, Uruguay and technical facilities provided by the Comitê Gestor da Internet Brasil of São Paulo.
Before this date, registration services for the region were provided by the American Registry for Internet Numbers.

 IP_address
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard.
Internet addresses are needed not only for unique enumeration of hosted interfaces, but also for routing purposes, therefore a high fraction of them are always unused or reserved.
While a number of measures have been taken to conserve the limited existing IPv4 address space (such as the use of NAT and Private Addressing), the number of 32-bit IP addresses is not sufficient to accommodate the long-term growth of the Internet.

It also disregards the widely accepted and long-held views that IP addresses are endpoint network identifiers that intrinsically have no national attributes, and that allocation principles regarding their distribution must be guided primarily by technical considerations relating to the viability of the operation of the Internet.
Rather than addressing the diversity of requirements of the global Internet community or the body of experience already gained in the operation of the global IP address distribution function, the ITU memorandum proposes a uniform model of Internet address distribution as a public sector activity within autonomous national boundaries.
IP addresses are also invisible to the Internet user, unlike E.164 numbers that are visible to the user and thus also serve as "names".

The Registries make concerted efforts to build consensus within the framework of the policy at hand and to ensure that policies are applied fairly and consistently, including those that are in common with other regions.
Internet number spaces were originally managed by a single individual "authority," namely the late Jon Postel, co-inventor of some of the most important technical features of today's Internet.

 GAO-05-471, Internet Protocol Version 6: Federal Agencies Need to Plan for Transition and Manage Security Risks
Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4), which is widely used today, may not be able to accommodate the increasing number of global users and devices that are connecting to the Internet.
By employing network address translation, an enterprise such as a federal agency or a company could have large numbers of internal IP addresses, but still use a single unique address that can be reached from the Internet.
The ability to maintain a constant IP address while switching networks is cited as a key factor for the success of a number of evolving capabilities, such as evolving telephone technologies, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, and automobiles.

 RIR - structure
RFC 1366, which described the "growth of the Internet and its increasing globalization", set out the basis for an evolution of the registry process, based on a regionally distributed registry model.
Registries would be "unbiased and widely recognized by network providers and subscribers" within their region.
Over time, a consensus was reached in the general Internet community to separate the management of domain names from the management of IP numbers, in part to maintain stability of the IP numbering system.

American Network) and Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa (north of the equator).

IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers often expressed as 4 octets in "dotted decimal" notation (for example, 192.0.32.67).
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are assigned in a delegated manner.
The IANA's role is to allocate IP addresses from the pools of unallocated addresses to the RIRs according to their established needs.

In general, delegation of responsibility for various portions of the IP address space is carried out by the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), the Latin-American And Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC), and the RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC).
A newer system, IPV6, addresses the fact that the number of IPv4 addresses is limited to approximately four billion (256 to the fourth power), with the practical maximum considerably lower than that due to the ways in which addresses are assigned.
Instead, the connection-sharing router holds the Internet IP address, carries out the requests made by the various personal computers "behind" the router, and appears to the rest of the Internet to be a single, very busy computer.

IP Addresses are similar to phone numbers in that they are a way of uniquely identifying you for others (usually computers) to be able to communicate and/or contact you.
Your IP address is controlled and assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), which is currently Infolink Information Services in your case, who are in business acting under the authority of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) who in turn gets the numbering scheme from InterNic.
The IP Address that you use internally within your office, home or enterprise network, which is NOT made known to others on the Internet, is called your Private IP Address.

The various Registries normally provide WhoIs functions to allow people to look-up the IP-address for a Domain Name and/or who controls an IP-Address (for home users, this is often the ISP through whom you registered the IP-Address, not you yourself).
