Description: What is known today as the modern Internet has long relied on the existence of, and use of, IPv4 addresses. However, due to the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), and limited address space within IPv4, acquiring large IPv4 subnetworks is becoming increasingly difficult. The exhaustion of the IPv4 address space has made it near impossible for organizations to gain access to large blocks of IP space. This is of great concern particularly in the security space which often relies on acquiring large network blocks for performing a technique called Internet Background Radiation (IBR) monitoring. This technique monitors IPv4 addresses which have no services running on them. In practice, no traffic should ever arrive at such an IPv4 address, and so is marked as an anomaly, and thus recorded and analyzed. This research aims to address the problem brought forth by IPv4 address space exhaustion in relation to IBR monitoring. This study’s intent is to identify the smallest subnet that best represents the attributes found in the/24 IPv4 address. This is done by determining how well a subset of the monitored original subnetwork represents the information gathered by the original subnetwork. Determining the best method of selecting a subset of IPv4 addresses from a subnetwork will enable IBR research to continue in the best way possible in an ever restricting research space.
