Does anyone use the 192.168 address space for private addresses behind
NAT? I'm in the middle of laying out my network and thought addresses in
this space would be OK to use from documents I've seen, but I've just
checked IANA and it appears that the only Private Use allocation is the
10.0.0.0 space, 192.168 in listed as having been assigned out to "Various
Registries - MultiRegional" according to http://www.isi.edu/in-
notes/iana/assignments/ipv4-address-space
I though I'd mention this as I've just spotted a BT (UK Telecomms/ISP) router
with the address 192.168.255.11 and assumed they'd misconfigured it, but
packets where getting through OK, and now I see that if I use 192.168.0.0
addresses in my network I could be preventing access to certain routes.
Any thoughts on this?
Dan
