- TLAs (Toplevel Aggregator, 13 Bit) are assigned by IANA to local Internet registrars, who in turn assign individual TLAs to large Internet providers.
- 8 bits reserved for future extensions
- NLA (Next-Level-Aggregator, 24 Bit) identifies a certain customer location, with NLAs an Internet provider can design an addressing hierarchy with several levels within a network.
- SLA (Site Level Aggregator, 16 Bit) that organizes addressing and routing for downstream Internet providers and identifies sites or subnets within a site.
