RFC 2544 benchmarking IP addresses should be considered private #104

Closed kdrag0n closed 1 year ago

kdrag0n commented 1 year ago

The 198.18.0.0/15 benchmarking IP range reserved by RFC 2544 is not globally routable, so it should be considered private similar to the logic for CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10) in #92. The more recent RFC 6890 confirms that this range is still reserved, and it's also marked as not globally routable in the IANA IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry.

We're considering using this as a low-conflict private IP range for a use case where traffic never leaves the same physical machine. It'd be great if the range could be added to PNA in order to protect local services running within the subnet.

Happy to make a pull request if the idea is accepted.

That seems reasonable to me. Can you send a PR?

Done, thanks for looking at this!
