16.7 million or so.

IPv4 is a 32 bit address space, so it tops out around 4.2 billion total.

17.0.0.0/8 is locking down the first 8 bits, giving 2^(32-8) variable bits, or there are only 256 possible first octets and this is one so it’s 1/256th of 4.2 billion addresses.

It’s even more when you factor in link local and private network ranges.

That’s what I’m saying. The set of addresses allocated to Apple (in their /8) is an even larger ratio as the private ranges don’t count towards the denominator.
