also why the fuck are there 16581375 addresses that just loopback to your own computer???
reserving just 127.0.0.0/24 or even just 127.0.0.1 would've been more than enough, but nooo we're gonna ~~give you~~ waste a whole /8 block

Now that ipv4 address price reached $60 a pop, those represent a whopping $60 x 16777216 = $1,006,632,960.
