Hello friends,
I have this very odd email address found with one of our employees....
<hidden_user@172.17.0.1>
A.f.a.i.k. 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 is:
NetRange: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
CIDR: 172.16.0.0/12
NetName: IANA-BBLK-RESERVED
NetHandle: NET-172-16-0-0-1
Parent: NET-172-0-0-0-0
NetType: IANA Special Use
NameServer: BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG
NameServer: BLACKHOLE-2.IANA.ORG
Comment: This block is reserved for special purposes.
Please see RFC 1918 for additional information.
RegDate: 1994-03-15
Updated: 2002-09-12
Here's my questions:
- Given that 1918 deals with allocation issues for "private Internets", is
there a recording entity of this special address space beyond the formal
IANA, which details the distribution of data from any "private Internet"
once it enters the public Internet vice versa ?
- Whom to anyone's knowledge is known to be using (for special projects) or
perhaps misusing this 172.17.0.1 ?
Greatly appreciate some insight, off list or on list, at your leisure.
best to all,
Bertil
