There is lots of RFC1918 space out there, yet most people use the same 10 /24 subnets

I ended up having my OOB LAN collide with someones home network a few weeks ago, and decided to find a new subnet to use that won't collide backed up with actual usage data!

Picking uncontested private IP subnets with usage data

@benjojo The best way to permanently solve this problem is to use an IPv6 subnet for OOB, and simply allocate a contiguous slice of it for "private" NAT64 to any legacy-only devices (vs using the well-known nat64 prefix, which could collide with a local gateway)

@becomethewaifu You don't need to explain IPv6 back to me :) My OOB LAN still needs v4 because not everything (like my ATS) supports v6 prefixes
