Re: Your PiGate IP address?

Jeff,
There have been, historically, three non-routable IP address ranges of different sizes that were setup expressly for the purpose of filling the need for an IP address range, initially, for companies to use for their internal networks.? Do a network search for non-routable IP addresses to get the full info so I don't have to repeat it here.

There is nothing "special" about it.
If you understand classful OR cidr routing,? 10.0.0.0/8 is just as
easy as 192.168.0.0/16
(As an aside,? it always make me chuckle when people completely forget
that 172.16.0.0/12 exists in the same RFC)
