A /9 fixes the first 9 bits of the address as the network and leaves 23 bits for hosts, so it holds 2^23 = 8,388,608 addresses. The first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address, leaving 8,388,606 for hosts.

A /9 is 32,768 /24 networks side by side; registries and ISPs allocate blocks this size to networks that route them on the internet.

A /9 can be announced in BGP on its own: /24 is the longest prefix most networks accept.
