[edit] 169.254/16 is a single Class B subnet
Perhaps this range is an exception, but generally all subnets from 128/8 through 191/8 are Class B. I'm changing the article accordingly. If I'm wrong, please respond here and change it back. Scorpiuss 13:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] this page is full of false information
trying to rewrite, but maybe it should just be deleted...
Not sure what the RFC is, or even what it's called, but it would be nice to have a similar page for 127.0.0.0/???
I'm thinking that the entire 127.x.x.x subnet is reserved, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for this page, though! I'm always forgetting that 172 is a 12 bit!
[edit] is 136.*.*.* Private ???
is 136.*.*.* Private ???
Nope.
[edit] IPv6
I know that IPv6 has link-local and site-local addresses, whatever those are, but I'm not sure if IPv6 has a parallel to these addresses other than IPv4-mapped ones... Any ideas? --Scott P
[edit] Might be nice to have article for "Public IP Address"
Might be nice to have article for "Public IP Address" just to clarify the terms "Private IP Address" and "Public IP Address". It can also contrast the diffeerences and link to descriptions of puiblic IP Address assignment and recording...

[edit] How is 192.168/16 not a class B?
[edit] 169.254 is both listed in the Private chart and given its own category. It should be one or the other, not both.
I'm pretty sure the line 20-bit block 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 should really be 12-bit block 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
I'm new here - am I supposed to just go change it? What if I'm wrong? Thanks!
[edit] 239.255.255/24
is multicast 239.255.255/24 (or wider) also private? If someone knows for sure, please list ALL the ranges which are not routed globally
