Holy moly, Apple owns all of 17 . * . * . * (workaround for HN formatting)? Wow. That's over 16 million IP addresses. Fun.

  Apple at least is a major IT company, but Ford!

    They needed IP addresses for all their computers. ;-)

  CIDR notation is how you notate these; Apple owns 17.0.0.0/8; the /8 meaning "8 bits identify the network portion", so just the first octet, or the 17. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#CIDR_notation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing... Coincidentally, CIDR doesn't conflict with the HN comment syntax. Sometimes shortened to 17/8, but… I wouldn't recommend that.

  This is already old news, the current who's who in the network is related to IPv6 You bet everybody already jumped in that boat. It would be interesting to know who and how.
