If you want to pick on a company for hogging IPv4 space, pick on Apple. They have a /8 and probably aren't using any of it.
- Aloha 5y agoI'd thought apple was using its own IP space for its 'services' hosting. Indeed, both apple.com and icloud.com resolve to 17.253.144.10

Most (if not all) of Apple's infrastructure uses their /8 block. With Apple Park they've moved to using a 10/8 with NAT for talking to the outside. Between iCloud, iTMS/App Store, and iMessage Apple's got a non-trivial amount of global network infrastructure beyond just their corporate network. So I guess be mad at Apple for using their IP space?
- FuriouslyAdrift 5y agoI guess I never considered Apple a major player in cloud. I stand corrected.
