I noticed a rather strange number in that page:

6,989,652 hosts are listed for Lucent. Lucent has 153,000 employees, so
every employee has 45 hosts. Either they have been equipping every
pencil, badge and styrofoam cafeteria tray with a host name, or the
measurement methodology needs some explanation...

I know they export every IP address as H-135-X-X-X.lucent.com, but
that's not 6 million.
