RFC2544 (Benchmarking Addresses) lays out
The network addresses 192.18.0.0 through 198.19.255.255 are have been
assigned to the BMWG by the IANA for this purpose.
Except, this was a typo, the actual address space was 198.18.0.0 through 198.19.255.255
It seems that at the moment Oracle owns 192.18.0.0/15 , and they are not announcing it, I suspect because there are a non zero amount of things that have accidentality put that in filters

A quick gander on github code search does confirm that even today, there are people who are accidentality filtering on Oracle rather than RFC2544 space
