Title : Redesignation of 240/4 from 'Future Use" to
"Limited Use for Large Private Internets'
Author(s) : P. Wilson, et al.
Filename : draft-wilson-class-e-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 2007-8-7
This document directs the IANA to designate the block of IPv4
addresses from 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (240.0.0.0/4) as unicast
address space for limited use in large private Internets.
It seems to me that we first need a discussion about why this space can't
be released as public address space. Is it known to be already deployed
as de facto private space?
I'd be a bit nervous about unintended side effects if
DHCP assigned me 255.255.255.255/32.

I remember trying it. I wanted to clandestinely communicate between
linklocal boxes. I could use it with Unifix linux 2.0 and kernel 2.0.48
I did not find any other operating system, not even linux, who could
use it.
I did not find any hardware except nonmanaged switches who could use it.
I tried to "fix" the tcp/ip stack of a more modern linux. Sideffects.
I did not get it working. To many places in the software.
Kind regards
