Re: IP's for point-to-point and loopbacks

I had thought about the blocks of RFC6598, but because it is a well-known RFC I can have problems of the users thinking that they are behind a NAT.
>From what I have seen to this moment in this discussion is that it may be interesting to continue with the blocks of RFC1918 or use the blocks of RFC6598.
Thank you all

    Not just a false impression; if they show up in traceroutes they can be extremely misleading.
    
    Has anyone considered (mis)using 100.64.0.0/10 (RFC6598) for this sort of purpose?

    A very bad idea. They are all reserved for a reason, and some
    of them are well known.
    
    192.88.99.0/24 would a particularly dangerous choice (see RFC7526).
    
    The RIRs make it clear that none of these should be used, e.g. APNIC:
    
    Internet Assigned Numbers Authority SPECIAL-IPV4-REGISTRY-IANA-RESERVED (NET-192-0-0-0-1) 192.0.0.0 - 192.0.0.255
    Internet Assigned Numbers Authority DS-LITE-RFC-6333-11-IANA-RESERVED (NET-192-0-0-0-2) 192.0.0.0 - 192.0.0.7
    
    NetName:	6TO4-RELAY-ANYCAST-IANA-RESERVED
    NetHandle:	NET-192-88-99-0-1
    Parent:	NET192 (NET-192-0-0-0-0)
    NetType:	IANA Special Use
    
    Comment:	Addresses starting with "198.18." or "198.19." are set aside for use in isolated laboratory networks used for benchmarking and performance testing.  They should never appear on the Internet and if you see Internet traffic using these addresses, they are being used without permission.
    
    Comment:	Addresses starting with "192.0.2.", "198.51.100.", or "203.0.113." are reserved for use in documentation and sample configurations.  They     should never be used in a live network configuration.  No one has permission to use these addresses on the Internet.

    What is the false impression? They are NATed I take it?
    
    
    > Not just a false impression; if they show up in traceroutes they can be extremely misleading.
    
    I think users of traceroute are advanced enough to know rfc1918?
    
    
    > Has anyone considered (mis)using 100.64.0.0/10 (RFC6598) for this sort of purpose?
    
    Yes, I use it myself to hand out IP?s for IPsec VPN, as it has less chance of clashing with the user?s local preNAT IP range. Until others start abusing this range too.

    We use the example ranges for our unit testing so I have those permanently configured on our test machines and laptop ?

    Even the ones that are a safe choice become unsafe once people start using these.
    
    
    However, there is a lot of unused multicast and reserved space left to do assignments from. I?m not sure why we haven?t started nibbling on those yet, other then wanting to promote ipv6?

    Overall I think the new mission statement is quite good. One specific comment inline.

        Sure, but it would be a good start to have something in the ISOC mission statement about promoting protocol checking (hackathon, testing) and formal verifications of the IETF standards.
    
    Rather than add more specific examples to the existing set of highlighted activities, how about adding something in the mission statement about implementation and application in addition to the development of open standards. This would leave it to the IETF community to decide on methods to achieve this, e.g. more emphasis on running code, reference implementations, protocol validation, workshops on enabling new standards and functionality, etc.

    I think that's just about right.
