2) Make available several chunks of space for RFC1918
usage, perhaps a few /8's, a whole mess of /12's, and
many /16's. This space does two things: First, it
provides additional private address space, which is
needed. Second, it provides a usage battleground for
class E space testing. There is the very real
possibility users of these blocks will run into
trouble as vendors have special handling for class E.
By allowing these to be discovered during use in
private networks, there is a much better chance of
public usage of these blocks later.
I do NOT agree that the entire class E space should go
to RFC 1918. That seems wasteful. But using some large
chunks of space for that purpose clearly provides a
test bed to prove out equipment before eventual public
address usage in that region of IP address space.
Makes a lot of sense to me.
Michel.
