NEW TO THIS 
Example scenario:
If I have a subnetwork total of 16
is the 16:16 counted?
OR would that be the whole network itself, so therefore it’s not counted?
Thank you.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking: but the regular Storj network shares the load over all IP’s in the same /24 subnet (the last number in your IP). So all these would get the traffic of one node shared between them:
142.150.10.30
142.150.10.31
142.150.10.32
(or all using the same IP, but different ports)
…but these would be considered separate nodes and each get their own traffic:
142.150.10.30
142.150.11.30
142.150.12.30
That does mean you may actually be sharing traffic with other neighbors using the same IP (like in your building, or on your street). You can enter your hostname/IP here to see if there are already other SNOs in your /24 you may be sharing with.
What is 16:16 and 24:1, is that an ip address? Where are those number come from?
Hello @SVJ,
Welcome to the forum!
Starting from circumventing the default network behaviour, which includes the /24 filter is a not good start to join the community.
I would suggest you to stop right here.
You must not break rules, when you join the project. This one - to keep the Storj network to be safe. This includes to do not allow to store more than a one piece of the same segment on the same hardware/location to prevent a Sybil attack. What is you wanted to do is exactly to do that. If you would find a way how to circumvent the default network behavior (which is against ToS by the way), you will put the customers data in danger: if you location would become unavailable for any reason, the customers data can be lost or at least unavailable.
Circumventing /24 rule is forbidden.
If you have a SOC2 certification, you may join the Commercial Node Operators program. However, it’s not for a homelabs, only for DC with a 24/7 monitoring, high availability and personnel and hardware replacements available 24/7.
