# Reducing 127.0.0.0/8
|
|
|
|
Traditionally this address range has been used for "local to the host"
|
|
communication, however in surveying the state of this part of the IPv4
|
|
universe, only a few
|
|
IP addresses in this range are used - some for spam protection daemons,
|
|
some for DNS.
|
|
|
|
We propose cutting down the "localnet space" to 127.0.0.0/16 (e.g. 127.0.0.0-
|
|
127.0.255.255) and allowing the remaining 127.1-255/16s to appear on the
|
|
wire.
