IP Accumulation Datasets

This web page documents our datasets about IP accumulation–counts of the number of active addresses per /24 IPv4 blocks over time. Our datasets are available upon request.

What data do you have? We current have data starting in 2020.

What is in the data? We document the format of accumulation datasets.
