It's from a /24 assignment, but is actually being used for tunnel
endpoints, so there seemed to be no reason not to use the .0 address.

I spent a long time looking for each filters, and watching traffic leave
our network but not receiving any replies, while traceroutes would work
just fine.

As Peter points out, it's from what would have been Class C space, so it

mentioned as not being accessible are running under Windows according to
Netcraft.
