The Regional Internet Registry (RIR) who allocates IP addresses in a certian region provides WHOIS services for finding contact and registration information for resources registered. Overseen by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), there are five RIRs: 1. American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) --- North America 2. RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE) --- Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia 3. Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) --- Asia and the Pacific region 4. Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) -- Latin America and the Caribbean region 5. African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) --- Africa -Spencer  Profile | Reply Points Earned: 0
