I didn't even think of Sokolov; if I did, I'd have to think of myself; over half the /24 in my datacenter remains unused because I've been very careful at giving them out. And now that I'm moving into renting out VPS instances (Xen in particular), I'm happy I have them, though my upstream still has plenty more (have they been hoarding?). Some universities waste many hundreds of /24s, I don't know of any who have Class-C allocations (for the record for those who don't know, there is a fundamental difference between a /24 and a true Class-C allocation, See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing but note that the Class Column is misleading. It indicates not that (for example), a /24 is equivalent to a Class-C allocation, but rather that the number of addresses in a /24 is equivalent to the number of addresses in a Class-C allocation. Anyway, all of the above only for general information in case anyone wants to know.
