I thought it would be some university or something. In the past they just used to assign Class A and Class B blocks. You know, it’s not like we’ll run out of IPv4. The 2 universities I’ve been to still give every single device its own public IPv4 because they have so many they don’t have to care about NAT.
Universities were the first organizations to be allocated those IP blocks. I’m sure there are a few holding on to some /8 networks and either they’ll never give them up (much like their endowment funds) or they will sell them off once they realize how valuable they can be.
Kind of a weird thought, but wouldnt a uni benefit from holding so many IP forcing people to use NAT. Then the offer classes and provide degrees in networking to deal with NAT…
The tiny little technical college I attended that’s almost entirely ag programs had something like 30 IPv4 IPs assigned to the IT program and I don’t want to know how many assigned to the IT department.
Literally every single student got an IPv4 address for the second year to play with in the lab. It was great but also holy crap we need to find an appropriate way to repurpose a portion of college IP blocks

My uni has at least 3 /16 blocks, which is about 200k IPv4s.
This means my Uni has more IPv4s than almost half of all UN recognized nations on earth.
