In case of CLAT those addresses are internal to the host and never appears on the wire, so .0, .1 and .7 can be used. MacOS, for example, configures that address with 255.255.255.255 mask: inet 192.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.0.0.2 As per https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7335.html#section-4

"A host MUST NOT enable two active IPv4 continuity solutions simultaneously in a way that would cause a node to have overlapping 192.0.0.0/29 address space."

Therefore .1 can't be used as DS-lite router if 464xlat is present.
