% % I understand swamp space is 192/8 thru 205/8. Am I correct. Also can % anyone provide me with a history of how these allocation got that name % ??? swamp space ??? % % Thanks in advance. % % Cheers % Joe Baptista % % -- % Planet Communications & Computing Facility % a division of The dot.GOD Registry, Limited the definition is one of local interpretation, per ISP. So if you define "swamp space" as 192/8 thru 205/8, then you are accurate, as far as you are concerned. Others will have divergent views and definitions. the term came into use roughly the same time as the term "tier-x" emerged as a classification for ISPs. Check the CIDR wg archives and the NANOG mailing archives roughly 1996-1998 for more detail. --bill Opinions expressed may not even be mine by the time you read them, and certainly don't reflect those of any other entity (legal or otherwise).
