You missed the point. If some software won't accept class E addresses in its configuration, it's a problem. (For example a security device that just drops all 240/4 without being configurable to allow port-based filters or SPI or whatever, is just as bad since you can't use 240/4 for anything useful.) The point is that 240/4 is simply not likely to be safe for general-purpose environments, only for controlled environments. -Dave _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
