Is 127.0.0.1 / ::1 the Internet version of "555"?
Not according to the RFC:s. Given the use of "555" in the (North American) TV world, and the regularity with which IETF defines specific example resources of various sorts, one would almost expect there'd be "555"-equivalent address spaces defined by the IETF already. I assume it has been discussed and rejected. Can anyone enlighten us on why? Regards, Martin PS. It's quite obvious that it would be announced and point to HTTP servers serving responses containing various evil things, I guess? PPS. Didn't know Adobe made web browsers with remote connect clients in them. :)
