    surprising there’s no china, with billions of connected devices. Maybe you don’t need many public ipv4 when you run a country-wide LAN with limited internet access

      Country-wide LAN

      That is, by definition, a WAN.

          I’ve heard a couple of folks trying to get traction on NAN (National Area Network) or NWN (Nation Wide Network), but so far no luck.

          This abbreviation is already used. Controller Area Network

        Now I wonder if the network of Vatican City is considered a WAN. Because there are likely companies with LANs larger than that.

          This document suggests that some of our home labs might be bigger than Vatican City’s telecom network. (note: attempt at humor)

          I’ve found a couple of articles ostensibly about Vatican City’s telecom network, but they appear to be information-free AI clickbait articles.

      There may have been some restriction or legislative reason regarding ipv6 until recently - China has gone from <5% to nearly 30% IPv6 capable since 2019: https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/CN
