ICANN
At the highest level it is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers). ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers.
The organization is a U.S. Government ran Corporation called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers(ICANN).
Global, private-sector, nonprofit corporation that was established to regulate human-friendly internet domain name, those addresses ending with.com, .org, .net, and so on, that overlie IP addresses and identify the website type.
Reverse ARP is used to Obtain IP address from a Server(responsible for IP addresses allocation) by providing its layer 2 (MAC) address.
Reduced number of routing table entries, Efficient allocation of addresses

An IP pool is a collection of IP addresses that are available for assignment to devices on a network, typically managed by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. This pool allows for efficient allocation and management of IP addresses, ensuring that devices can connect to the network without conflicts. IP pools can be dynamic, where addresses are assigned temporarily, or static, where specific addresses are reserved for particular devices. They are essential for managing network resources, especially in environments with numerous devices.
Public IP addresses
In theory there are 264 available network allocations in ipV6. It is not known how many are actually in use at this time. For a very clear comparison, in IPv4 there is a total of 4,294,967,296 IP addresses. With IPv6, there is a total of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses in a single /64 allocation.
The IANA, or Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, is the organization that has been managing IP addresses since even before it was known by an official name. A registry function that would become IANA was in place by the 1970s, managed by the famed Jon Postel (of USC's Information Sciences Institute). Today IANA is managed by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. See the accompanying links for IANA, ICANN, and more on the history of IANA.
