>>> "Andrew Latham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/21/08 3:03 PM >>> Ben, you are on topic here and the issue is that the design of networks is sometimes left to looks and feels. I know one consultant that lives in Ft. Wayne that only uses a 10.0.0.0 network no mater what size business it is. I talk to people who from working with people like this that select "vanity" IP addressing schemes that later become an issue. The issue is that the RFC states an idea and how to get to this idea. Each manufacturer and then the person setting up have a responsibility to continue these ideas for interoperability.
Wow that was much easier than my first rant... Andrew, You can't say using a 10.0.0.0 network all the time is a bad thing because you didn't give enough information to make this determination? You didn't give a network mask. If he always uses 10.0.0.0/8 or 255.0.0.0 then this is a bad idea but if he is using CIDR complaint equipment with a 10.0.0.0/24 or 255.255.255.0 mask or even possibly a larger mask creating a network small than a class C in private address space though doing this a whole different debate.
