According to https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml the 240/4 netblock is: NOT valid as a source or destination address for packets between devices. NOT forwardable. NOT globally reachable. IS "reserved by protocol": o Reserved-by-Protocol - A boolean value indicating whether the special-purpose address block is reserved by IP, itself. This value is "TRUE" if the RFC that created the special-purpose address block requires all compliant IP implementations to behave in a special way when processing packets either to or from addresses contained by the address block. I'm sure you could use those addresses in a closed, controlled laboratory network - but not in anything you plan to deploy commercially or publicly. It would be better to use IPv6, IMHO. - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list Cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
