I get the impression they were thinking about a global VPN using the 10.x range, with the gateway access points appearing as bridges. 10.x would have been chosen, simply because it's the largest (IPv4) address space available for private networks. However, for a lot of home users, who might have an ID-1 and a LAN connected to the same PC, there's a high risk of IP address range (network/subnet) conflicts, since a significant proportion of home routers use 10.x address space for their LAN interface out of the box. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
