IPASK Checker Countries Ranking Methodology Stats

IPASK data report

Public aggregates · last data run 2026-10-31

Numbers we can compute from public registries and our own checks. Two questions this report is meant to answer: how much of each country's IPv4 space is hosting, and which networks sellers actually get their pools from. Both are sampled; methods are stated under each chart.

1. Hosting share of IPv4 space, by country

share of sampled addresses that are hosting

Method: RIR delegation ranges per country (ipverse/rir-ip), 24 addresses sampled per country, each classified by the announcing ASN (hosting / CDN / ISP). Sample of 24; treat as an estimate, not a census. Countries with fewer than 500 ranges are excluded from the chart.

checks per network

Method: counts from our own checks, aggregated per announcing ASN. This tells you which networks appear in real pools — not which ones are “worst”.

3. Accuracy audit

Average match against reference sets: 100%.

These are consistency checks against public reference data (cloud ranges, Cloudflare ranges, DROP, Tor exit list). They validate the pipeline, not marketplace outcomes. Methodology.
