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).
Address allocation is the process of assigning unique identifiers, known as addresses, to devices within a network. This ensures that each device can communicate effectively without conflicts. In IP networking, for example, address allocation involves assigning IP addresses to devices to facilitate data transmission across the internet. Proper address allocation is crucial for efficient network management and resource utilization.
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.
The two organizations responsible for managing the top-level domain name space and the root Domain Name System (DNS) name servers are the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). ICANN oversees the allocation of domain names and IP addresses, while IANA handles the technical aspects, including the management of the DNS root zone. Together, they ensure the stability and security of the global internet naming system.

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.
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.
