Re: 240/4

Randy pointed out rightly, this is not only your network that needs upgrading, this is all the networks who communicate with you that needs upgrading.

So, classifying 240/4 as public use is unrealistic now and will remain unrealistic in the near future.

agree

Classifying it as private use should come with the health warning "use this at your own risk, this stuff can blow up your network". In other words, this is for experimental use only.

disagree. as you point out, this is analogous to deploying ipv6; i do not think you would want us to put an "experimental" warning on that. if you certify your kit to handle it, then it will work in production. randy
