Hi,
There are various reasons that might be causing this:
* Lots of VPNs on OVH network
* OVH offers "desktop-as-a-service" and from what I understand it's
quite popular
* OVH is also a home ISP - just in France though; but not sure if/how
APNIC separated OVH as an ISP and OVH as a server provider.
I think it's all under the same ASN (might be wrong though)
* There are some scrapers on the OVH network - definitely not half a
million though
Best Regards,
Filip Hruska
