It was the same thing when I was at University of Delaware. Each hard wire got a IPv4 public address. I lived in one of two apartment towers. From what I recall there were three /24s split between the two.
Much like your setup the first 25 were reserved. In addition anything past that was rate limited. I recall anything past that was ~10->25Mbs. Going into the lower range though got around 500Mbs. I know similar stories from other state employees. The times when IPs were more prevalent.
- sp00ls 10y agoSame thing at SUNY Polytechnic (previously SUNYIT). Its been a few years since I left but when I was there all hardwired devices had a public IP address.

- Walf 10y ago> Every device that wants to be on the Internet should have a public IP address! We don't need every network-connected device, with all their flaws accessible to the world. Unfortunately, IPv6 will not help us there.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoDoesn't IPv6 have local addresses that aren't routed externally, like ::1.
- XorNot 10y agoThat's what firewalls are for. In a perfect world you'd get your ipv6 prefix from your ISP, and have your firewall white list specific outbound suffix addresses. If you need topology privacy you'd shuffle your /64 every once in a while.
