May someone can answer this. Anytime I ignite my laptop to go online I see via etherape that I am connected to IANA as shown below. Is my provider redirecting me there, the cable under the sea, what is the reason for this?
You are not connected via IANA. 224.0.0.0/4 is a range defined and reserved by IANA for the use of Multicast-Applications. IANA is not an internet service provider but authority responsible for global ip address assignment.
In this case the reason is most likely that your computers use multicast DNS(mDNS) prior to the finishing of the IP-configuration. mDNS may be used if a computer has no DNS-Server set up to, be able to resolve host names into ip addresses without the need of an DNS-Server. There are a lot other applications for use with multicast.

mdns-scan
MDNS-SCAN(1) General Commands Manual MDNS-SCAN(1)
NAME
mdns-scan - Scan for mDNS/DNS-SD services published on the local network
SYNOPSIS
mdns-scan
DESCRIPTION
mdns-scan is a tool for scanning for mDNS/DNS-SD published services on the local network. It issues a mDNS PTR query to the special RR
_services._dns-sd._udp.local for retrieving a list of all currently registered services on the local link.
OPTIONS
mdns-scan has no commandline options.
NOTES
mdns-scan is not a good mDNS citizen since it queries continuously for services and doesn't implement features like Duplicate Suppression.
It is intended for usage as a debugging tool only.
mdns-scan is incomplete since it doesn't resolve mDNS services for you - it just dumps their PTR RRs. To understand these records you need
minimal knowledge of DNS-SD and how it works.
mdns-scan does not terminate on its own behalf. It scans for services continuously until the user kills it by pressing C-c.
mdns-scan does not rely on a local mDNS responder daemon. It has no dependencies besides the GNU libc. It has been tested on Linux only.
mdns-scan does NOT scan for local mDNS enabled hosts or A/AAAA RRs, it scans for DNS-SD registered services, nothing else.
