Don't universities have a huge number of IPs because they were the first to use internet ?

Mine gives one public ipv4 per device that access the internet on the network (with some exceptions). Strategies varies but if you have a lot of addresses why not use them.



That might be true for some US universities, but it's definitely not true for the rest of the world.
