It is (or was) fairly commonly in use among internal nets which overflowed RFC 1918 or have to internetwork with other heavy users of RFC 1918 space. I know of at least two service providers and one cell network who were using it for that 3 years ago.
I am pretty sure Class E is completely defunct and not used anywhere since Cisco and Juniper routers do not forward the packets (circa 2008 testing) and no known host accept it as a valid address, AFAIK. CB
Someone leaking internal routes for such? Or attempt to hijack the space?
Only the Shadow knows...

Is anyone else seeing a lot of Class E address space (240.0.0.0/4) at their borders? Has this space been reinstated in some as yet unknown to me RFC? Thanks, Buz
