Please don't confuse private addresses with NAT. The idea of private addresses existed long before NAT. A private address is just that, it doesn't connect to anything. NAT then took advantage of those address blocks. Private addresses are not the problem (there are some with IPv6 too), NAT is. RFC1918 is dated 1996, and obsoletes 1597 from 1994. NAT was discussed at least as far back as 1992. (RFC1380, section 2.2.3, paragraph 3).
I recall talk about using IP on amateur radio in the early 90s. IIRC, they were saying to use the 10. block as that was assigned to the U.S. military and not connected to the Internet and so was safe to use.
I was not much active (as a radio amateur) at that time, but I guess this isn't about packet radio then? (that would be AX.25).
Uh, someone just reminded me that 44/8 has been allocated for radio amateur use since the 70s: https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-44-0-0-0-1 /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
