    * 3. Maximum of two entries is allowed in `--service-cluster-ip-range` and they are validated to be dual stacked `i.e. --service-cluster-ip-range=<v4>,<v6> or --service-cluster-ip-range=<v6>,<v4>`
    * 4. Max 20 bit for range (min network bits `<v6>/108` or <v4>/12)

- Added new feature gate `ServiceNodePortStaticSubrange`, to enable the new strategy in the `NodePort` Service port allocators, so the node port range is subdivided and dynamic allocated `NodePort` port for Services are allocated preferentially from the upper range.

- Fixes v1.17.0 regression in --service-cluster-ip-range handling with IPv4 ranges larger than 65536 IP addresses ([#86534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86534), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Network]

### Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

Kubernetes 1.24 introduced a new opt-in feature that allows you to
[soft-reserve a range for static IP address assignments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#service-ip-static-sub-range)
to Services.
With the manual enablement of this feature, the cluster will prefer automatic assignment from

* When using IP aliases, use a secondary range rather than subnetwork to reserve cluster IPs. ([#51690](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51690), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))
* IPAM controller unifies handling of node pod CIDR range allocation. ([#51374](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51374), [@bowei](https://github.com/bowei))

  // +optional
  optional k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ObjectMeta metadata = 1;

  // Range is string that identifies the range represented by 'data'.
  optional string range = 2;

  // Data is a bit array containing all allocated addresses in the previous segment.
  optional bytes data = 3;
