If people are using space that has been marked as "Reserved For Future Use" within their networks, then this is a problem that they must deal with and it must not affect or influence global usage. What about networks squatting on DoD /8 space? Does this mean the DoD can never route this space publicly because people are using it internally?
- yardstick 3y agoDoD space /8 is different as it is within the public space of IPv4, even if it was never advertised globally. Whereas 240/4 was never declared public. Apples and Oranges.
- christopherh1 3y agoYou are correct, 240/4 was never marked as public space, it was marked as Reserved for Future Use. Network operators squatting on 240/4 space should have never done so as it was not decided as to what it was going to be used for, hence its current status. Like I said, if people squat on reserved space and the status changes, that's too bad for them if it's reallocated and made routable. Network operators have no right to dictate that space cannot be made routable, simply because they are using space internally and against current policies.
