Hi! Why not? It CAN. You said about /24 bounded into one ethernet network. But for example I am giving my users real IP over VPN connection. As it is point-to-point connection, there is no network and broadcast addresses at all, and x.x.x.0, x.x.x.255 works. Same is for dial-up. But! Seldom I am experiencing some problems with that kind of addresses. There is a number misconfigured "antihackers" filters on the Net blocks .0 and .255 as they thinks it is always broadcasts. A bit soul-save discussion with such admins usually fixes the problem ;) > Thomas, all, > > > I'd welcome discussion/feedback on it, and this list seems as good a > > place as any. > > > > http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-narten-iana-rir-ipv6-considerat > >ions-00.txt > > This is nit-picking, but for the sake of clarity: > > 2.7.
