Nobody's going to run a /8 on a single LAN segment.

If you want maximum efficiency, your hosts all have RFC1918 IPs and you route the public IP addresses to them. zero wastage, everything usable.

That's the joke! Imagine not getting caught these day running a giant routable stolen class A network on a single LAN segment. It would require Trump-level audacity!

When I went to college in the mid 90's, the entire campus was on a /16, flat network, every machine had a 255.255.0.0 netmask. There was no subnetting, everything was switched (they said "bridged" at the time.)

With today's switches, you could do much crazier things. Definitely not an /8 though.
