Hi Jay, I think it's a good idea. It won't be usable any time in the next two decades but if we're still using IPv4 in two decades we'll be glad to have anything we can scrounge. Why not ask OS authors to start assigning 127.0.0.1/16 to loopback instead of 127.0.0.1/8? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
