A /17 fixes the first 17 bits of the address as the network and leaves 15 bits for hosts, so it holds 2^15 = 32,768 addresses. The first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address, leaving 32,766 for hosts.

A /17 is 128 /24 networks side by side; registries and ISPs allocate blocks this size to networks that route them on the internet.

A /17 can be announced in BGP on its own: /24 is the longest prefix most networks accept.
