As an example I work in and R&D site. We have over 1000 servers in the R&D environment to all of which I have root access.A smaller number of servers also live in the local production LAN, in the region of 50 last time I looked. Support for the production LAN is managed gloabally and worldwide there would be over 1000 some of specialists in IT support would have access to all of these.

This does in fact not include the ~ 60,000 "personal" machines on the desktop.

NAME
wake -- send Wake on LAN frames to hosts on a local Ethernet network SYNOPSIS
wake [interface] lladdr [lladdr ...] DESCRIPTION
The wake program is used to send Wake on LAN (WoL) frames over a local Ethernet network to one or more hosts using their link layer (hard- ware) addresses. WoL functionality is generally enabled in a machine's BIOS and can be used to power on machines from a remote system with- out having physical access to them. interface is an Ethernet interface of the local machine and is used to send the Wake on LAN frames over it. If there is only one Ethernet device available that is up and running, then the interface argument can be omitted. lladdr is the link layer address of the remote machine. This can be specified as the actual hardware address (six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons) or as a hostname entry in /etc/ethers. wake accepts multiple lladdr addresses. Link layer addresses can be determined and set using ifconfig(8). FILES
/etc/ethers Ethernet host name data base. SEE ALSO
ethers(5), ifconfig(8) AUTHORS
