Which ranges of IPv6 and IPv4 do requests to the local network and the host?

Question

I'm looking for the range of IP address that is bound to the local network or the host itself.

So far for IPv4 I found:

• 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
• 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255
• 169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255 (not sure?)

For IPv6 I found:

• ::1/128
• fd00::/8
• fe80::/10 (not sure?)

Can you help me to complete this list?

Answer 1

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the authority for this. There are many pages maintained by it, including some that directly address what you want:

• IANA IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry
• IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry
• IANA IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry
• IPv6 Multicast Address Space Registry

You can see things like: Address Block, Name, RFC, Allocation Date, Termination Date, Source, Destination, Forwardable, Globally Reachable, Reserved-by-Protocol.
