[AusNOG] IPocalypse now (?)

[Steve Smith]

One question I've been asked is why can't they just release the
reserved 240-254 blocks? The registry implies they're reserved for
multicast but I can't find anything concrete on this.  In practice I
suspect that they're hard-coded into so many IP stacks they're
effectively useless anyway.

Cheer,
Steve
