Re: [PLUG] route necessary?
|
Very interesting. I took a quick look at the introduction of the RFC.
So this
is a mechanism to use IP for local LAN communication without the need to
concern
ones self with the configuration issues required to speak to a global
community?
How does using RFC3927 differ from other address spaces like those
documented
in RFC1918 (192.168, 10. etc)?
Thanks for entertaining my questions.
