The correct statement is that those "private" addresses are not forwardable on the open Internet. The routes for the RFC 1918 address ranges don't exist by administrative design, and the ranges are (sometimes) filtered at the edges of provider networks. However, no known router will discard them arbitrarily, so the injunction against letting them pass through routers doesn't make sense here. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
