DoD Network Information Center <- Why?
Sometimes people just assign themselves some IP address space, not via
RIPE/ARIN/APNIC/etc, but just picking a address randomly. The range
26.26.26.xx looks like such an 'assignment'.
Of course, it's bad habit to just pick a random address and use it
inside your network, but it happens a lot, especially with rcf1918
space. It also happens a lot that those addresses can be seen by
tracerouting..
Hope this clears things up a bit,
Pieter
As Pieter said this ISP must be using DOD IP addresses on their internal
network. Unless they have a special link that transmits data directly
from Italy to Columbus, Ohio and back to Italy, in 1ms round trip. ^_^
I don't think this could be associated with Dave's incident.
