Just for fun, I did the math. A total of 16,777,216 /24s fit in 32 bits. Take away all the reserved space as per IANA (this is 1,266,696 /24s, see below), and we end up with 16,777,216 - 1,266,696 = 15,510,520 potential /24 advertisements.
Howdy, It's not that simple. For example, 224/4 is not a 'reserved' space but it can't appear in the unicast BGP table either. That alone is a million routes unaccounted for in your math. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill () herrin us https://bill.herrin.us/
