[AusNOG] [Fwd: [bogon-announce] IANA IPv4 allocations and bogon update 1/8 and 27/8]

[Curtis Bayne]

I have never heard of anyone using 1.0.0.0/8 for inter-company peering: in every case I have seen, the business has requested an allocation from the appropriate NIC and actioned peering sessions accordingly, although the plural of anecdote is not data. 

I think Blizzard will be the driving force behind the allocation of 5.0.0.0/8 - if Hamachi is dead I imagine a number of people will be rushing out to buy Warcraft 3/Starcraft who have been using "extended evaluations". =)

'twas what I heard once, 's all.

Probably comes from configuring 3 LANs with the entirety of their three
RFC1918 allocations, and then wondering why they don't have much address
space to work with. ;)

Here's hoping 5.0.0.0/8 gets allocated to disrupt Hamachi users too.
