Do a control-f for "DOD". These guys have so much IP4 space its not even funny. Being the government, they'll never give it up. So a total of 200 million IP4 addresses:

So, when the country that starts the internet is also the country with the largest, by far, military and has obscene military spending, well, this is what happens.
- georgieporgie 15y agoWow. For the curious but unmotivated, here are the /8 IPs they control: 7.0.0.0/8 11. 21. 22. 26. 28. 29. 30. 33. 55. 214. 215. (omitted the 0.0.0/8 from all but the first for brevity)
- swixmix 15y agoI doubt the DOD purchased IP blocks much as I doubt Apple pays for their domain name. Back before the commercialization of the Internet these things were relatively free.
