Identifying and Aggregating Homogeneous IPv4 /24 Blocks with Hobbit
Youndo Lee, Neil T. Spring · 2016
Addresses in the Internet are typically measured as if they represent larger aggregates. These larger blocks may be based on prefixes advertised through BGP, with larger prefixes broken into "/24s." Such an approach is typical in network mapping and other research, and tries to balance the detail available by probing more addresses with the efficiency available by probing only as many as will discover new information.
