Just for kicks, I tried using a .0.0/16 and .255.255/16 adress for stuff in IOS (configured it as loopback and tried to establish bgp sessions etc), that didn't work so well. I don't remember exactly what the problem was, but I did indeed run into problems.
LU-CIX uses .255 and .0 for their route servers. See [1]. And it looks like most router fabrics can now handle BGP sessions to those addresses. Regards, Marc [1] http://www.lu-cix.lu/route-servers.html
