Re: [opensuse] dumb network routing question

Thanks James. For my clarity, is this right?

That is correct. The addresses listed in RFC1918 can be routed internally, but not onto the public Internet. In fact my ISP uses addresses in the 10.x.y.z range within their network. The 169.254 range is called "link local" and cannot be routed, even locally. It's purpose is to allow for file sharing etc. on a local network without having to configure IP addresses. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
