Isn't like only 80 some percent of IPv4s actually used?
It's all allocated, but not all those allocations are for routing on the internet. Eg private ranges, localhost space, multicast, experimental ranges. Unfortunately you can't repurpose those ranges as there is already kit out there that is hard coded to treat them a particular way.
also why the fuck are there 16581375 addresses that just loopback to your own computer???
reserving just 127.0.0.0/24 or even just 127.0.0.1 would've been more than enough, but nooo we're gonna ~~give you~~ waste a whole /8 block
why’s Apple have the entire 17 area code
Now that ipv4 address price reached $60 a pop, those represent a whopping $60 x 16777216 = $1,006,632,960.
Because address classes. Stupid decision by stupid people.
