I’ve worked for a company that was barely using its /16. I know several individuals, including myself, with personal /24s.

- Dagger2 6mo agoNone of which are any help when connecting to someone who doesn't have those.
- icedchai 6mo agoI know, I'm just agreeing there's a ton of IP waste in the US. Early adopters were perhaps unjustly rewarded. InterNIC (before ARIN) would just about hand out IPs to anyone who could send an email.
- Bender 6mo agoDuring the dot-com crash I had to put a /16, some /17's and a /19 on one vlan and connected a 1U Linux box running Labrea Tarpit just so those ranges would respond to ping because InterNIC used to harass us for not utilizing all the space. They threatened a few times to take them back. AFAIK nobody nags like that any more. They probably should.
- UltraSane 6mo agoA /24 is currently worth between $5,000 and $9,000 USD. Did you get them a long time ago?
- ButlerianJihad 6mo agoI recently released a /24 that I registered in 1992 and I hadn’t realized it was still mine. ARIN was gonna charge me $100 to authenticate and recover the account, but once I asserted and notarized my letter of relinquishment, the process went real quick!
