Connected to IANA anyway, why?

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? This happened with a pretty normal desktop PC, as well with my ancient...

PROTOCOLS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      PROTOCOLS(5)

NAME

       protocols - protocols definition file

DESCRIPTION

       This  file  is a plain ASCII file, describing the various DARPA internet protocols that are available from the TCP/IP subsystem.  It should
       be consulted instead of using the numbers in the ARPA include files, or, even worse, just guessing them.  These numbers will occur  in  the
       protocol field of any IP header.

       Keep this file untouched since changes would result in incorrect IP packages.  Protocol numbers and names are specified by the IANA (Inter-
       net Assigned Numbers Authority).

       Each line is of the following format:

	      protocol number aliases ...

       where the fields are delimited by spaces or tabs.  Empty lines are ignored.  If a line contains a hash mark (#), the hash mark and the part
       of the line following it are ignored.

       The field descriptions are:

       protocol
	      the native name for the protocol.  For example ip, tcp, or udp.

       number the official number for this protocol as it will appear within the IP header.

       aliases
	      optional aliases for the protocol.

       This file might be distributed over a network using a network-wide naming service like Yellow Pages/NIS or BIND/Hesiod.

FILES

       /etc/protocols
	      The protocols definition file.
