HN comment orderI find the map the most interesting map: https://map.bgp.tools/ And did not know Mercedes holds such a large block (53.0.0.0/8), and it appears to be mostly dark or unused.
Credit to Ben who built this, it's really nice. If you're a network engineer and aren't yet using this... What are you doing? Also check out the Prometheus metrics available as a feed format you can scrape (paying customers). Ben's great and this area is not one that sees much innovation, this is all round a far better bgp.he.net and indispensable for network teams. The changelog is always impressive.
