Target Audience
Tier 2 carrier networks and wholesale IP providers that sub-lease or resell address space to downstream customers; IPv4 investment funds and holding companies building asset portfolios; and national government agencies establishing sovereign digital infrastructure.
Use Case
A /17 is a carrier-grade asset containing 32,768 addresses. Wholesale IP providers purchase /17s to sub-allocate /24-/22 blocks to downstream customers, generating recurring revenue while maintaining the aggregate prefix in their routing table. Investment funds acquire /17s as appreciating assets—IPv4 addresses have historically gained 10–15% annually. Government agencies in developing economies purchase /17s to establish sovereign IP infrastructure independent of foreign providers.

Frequently Asked Questions About /17 Blocks
Everything you need to know about purchasing a /17 IPv4 block, from pricing and transfer timelines to technical requirements.
Can I sub-lease or resell parts of a /17 to downstream customers?
Can I sub-lease or resell parts of a /17 to downstream customers?
Yes. As the registered holder, you can sub-allocate /24, /23, or /22 blocks to downstream customers via your own LIR or through a sponsoring LIR. Many wholesale IP providers operate this way—purchasing large blocks and generating revenue through sub-leasing at per-IP premiums. Each sub-allocation requires proper RIPE/ARIN database registration.
What is the historical ROI on IPv4 blocks of /17 size?
What is the historical ROI on IPv4 blocks of /17 size?
IPv4 addresses have appreciated 10–15% annually since 2015, driven by permanent exhaustion across all five RIRs. A /17 purchased at $20/IP in 2022 is now worth $25–$27/IP—a 25–35% gain in 4 years. While past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, the fundamental scarcity driver (no new IPv4 addresses will ever be created) remains permanent.
How does the due diligence process differ for a /17?
How does the due diligence process differ for a /17?
For blocks this size, due diligence is more extensive: we verify the complete ownership chain back to original RIR allocation, check for any encumbrances or liens, review the full BGP announcement history for hijacking or leak incidents, scan against 300+ blacklists, and confirm that no legal disputes exist. This process typically takes 5–10 business days before a transfer can begin.
How rare are /17 blocks on the market?
How rare are /17 blocks on the market?
Very rare. Globally, fewer than 10–20 clean, contiguous /17 blocks are listed or available through private channels at any given time. Most transactions are brokered off-market through direct relationships. Buyers should expect sourcing to take 4–12 weeks and should be prepared to act quickly when a suitable block becomes available.
