----------------------- TOTAL FOR IPV4 BLOCKS: Allocated: 9302367 (/24 blocks) - 63% Not Allocated: 5377697 (/24 blocks) - 37% Currently Routed: 6183529 (/24 blocks) - 42% Not Routed: 8496535 (/24 blocks) - 58% ----------------------- Simple math from above: Allocated & Not Routed: 3118838 (/24 blocks) - 21% This is from my data available at www.completewhois.com/statistics/ (which is for some reason partially broken right now - has all thecorrect data but coloring of bars did not happen). The percent calculation does not include class-d and class-e (i.e. only blocks
0/8 - 223/8 are counted).
Something that has been brought up from time to time here. It's not easily observable, but allowed.
Not easily observable means some ip blocks maybe used but are not adverised in public BGP. This is a bit of an issue with certain
part of US Gov.
