There are a lot of /24 in use strictly for BGP, even if they're not fully utilized. This is the public address space, though, and not really "squatting"

- _nickwhite 5y agoThis. I have a few /24s and only actually use maybe 25 active IP addresses. If I want to exist in global BGP tables, it's the smallest block I can use for my ASN (and not be filtered out). I think in 2022, the rise of SDWAN, CDNs, and, Zero-Trust reverse proxy services, it's not actually relevant to roll your own BGP, unless you're a big player, or if you just want to fly solo on the Internet.
