It has been a long time since I worked at an ISP, but I am fairly confident the routers we bought dropped private IPs by default.
Those routers would certainly be configured to block those ranges, but there's no specific setting. For example, on a Cisco router, you just add in the appropriate rules to the access list.. If you were an ISP, you'd have an input filter, using a standard access list with those ranges denied. On the other hand, you might be using that same router internally, where you want to pass those ranges, in which case you wouldn't block the ones you use. IPtables, as used in openSUSE also has rules for filtering, but they're generally hidden by Yast. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
