Size Distribution of Registered IPv4 Prefixes

An overview of the total number of IPv4 delegations grouped by /8s

This page provides a detailed breakdown of how IPv4 address space is distributed across each /8 block. These delegations include allocations, assignments, and legacy registrations of various statuses.

By analyzing the concentration of prefix sizes, researchers and operators can identify where address space is heavily fragmented versus more contiguous. This data can also help establish "cut-off" points when filtering based on the minimum allocation size.
