Introduction

BCP5 (currently RFC1918, `Address Allocation for Private Internets') describes circumstances where it can be useful to have non-globally-unique IP addresses, and specifies three IPv4 address ranges which may be used for this purpose. RFC1918 recommends that, to minimise the risk of clashes when private internets need to be merged, address ranges should be chosen at random.

This web page and database exist to help people choose ranges at random, and to help them choose ranges which are not currently in use by anyone else. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error@@@ @@@if:error_badnet@@@ You entered a syntactically invalid CIDR-format network number.

IPv4 network numbers should be expressed as a dotted quad followed by a prefix length. Each of the numbers in the dotted quad must be between 0 and 255. The prefix length is separated from the dotted quad by a slash, and must be between 0 and 32. None of the bits in the dotted quad beyond the prefix length must be set. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_badsize@@@ You entered an invalid size for your prefix or subnet. You must enter a number between 0 and 32. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_wrongsize@@@ The subnet size you requested (@@@specsize@@@-bit prefix) is larger (contains more addresses) than the size of the private-use range you selected (@@@net@@@). @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_wrongnet@@@ The network number you specified does not lie wholly within the BCP5-allocated private-use address ranges. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_notfound@@@ Sorry, the database entry cannot be found. Perhaps the entry has been deleted or expired.

If you believe that this has happened to you in error, contact the registry administrator, @@@adminemail@@@, quoting identifier @@@id@@@. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_noemail@@@ You must provide an email address. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_nocontact@@@ You must provide a contact name. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_nopassword@@@ You must supply the password. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_badpassword@@@ The password you supplied was not correct. Please supply the correct password. If you do not know the password, ask to have it mailed to you.

The passwords expire after a while; if you were not relying on a fresh notification of your password, you should request a current password. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_nonet@@@ You must provide a network number ! @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_noname@@@ You must provide a network name for the database. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:error_badchar@@@ The name, contact or email address you specified contains illegal character(s). @@@endif:@@@ @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:pick@@@ @@@ifnot:picked@@@

Register a network range you are using

You may register an existing network range you are using in our database. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:picked@@@

Random network range chosen - register it ?

I have picked the random network numbering range @@@net@@@ for you. You can see its relationship to other entries in the database of networks people are using - it is shown below, in amongst the registered database entries.

If you are happy with it, you are of course free to use it straight away without telling anyone. However, it may be to your advantage to register it in our database. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:registernew|picked@@@

You must enter an email address to `own' the database entry. This email address will be mailed a reminder asking you to confirm/renew your entry periodically, and will also be used to authorise changes to the entry. It will be published on these pages unless you select to hide it; apart from that we will only use it to contact you about your database entry. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:deleted@@@

Deleted entry

The following entry has been deleted. If this was a mistake, you may re-register it now. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:details|fulldetails@@@

Entry created

The database entry has been created, but will only persist for a short time unless you confirm it. You have beeen sent an email with your password, requesting confirmation. When you have received the email you may use `confirm/update', below, to confirm your database entry. If you do not confirm it it will expire in a few days. @@@endif:@@@ @@@if:justupdated@@@

Password request

Use this to obtain your password, if you do not have it or it doesn't seem to work. The passwords expire after a while; if you do not have a recent notification of your password, you should request a current password:

Modify or manage this entry

@@@endif:@@@ @@@if:details|justcreated|passwordsent@@@ Using your password, you can update the details above (if you have changed them) and confirm or renew your entry (to stop it expiring). @@@ifnot:displayemail@@@ You can also view the full details, including the hidden email address. @@@endif:@@@
