The IAB, or Internet Architecture Board, is a group of appointed group leaders and volunteers who all come together to create and fine tune ideas that could be put in place to help manage Internet protocols and oversee those protocols and procedures. Since the board has more volunteers than actual nominated members, the group is made up of people with a general knowledge of the Internet and its functions rather than people who specialize in the knowledge. According to its own page, www.iab.org, the IAB, “exists to serve and help the IETF,” (Internet Engineering Task Force).

Lastly, ARIN creates technical services to better help the Internet like security for DNS or even the Internet routing registry (IRR). Overall, as IANA helps to maintain and regulate IP addresses, ARIN creates them. I do think that ARIN is successful in its pursuit to keep creating new IP addresses and ASN’s, especially because all the URL addresses always work. I also think they are successful in finding out information on people’s devices because the home page of the website I visited told me my IP address, and later told me what handle my iPad was, what ISP I used, etc.
