I'm pretty sure 127.0.0.1 is the normal loopback address. Any ideas on resolving this? --217.204.169.167 15:56, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)#

You are correct: 127.0.0.1 is the normal loopback address. However, it's the lowest usable address in the classful 127.0.0.0/8 loopback network which is reserved for local loopback, assuming the old rules of not using the all-zeros address (which requirement has been relaxed for CIDR). So both statements are valid. -- The Anome 16:02, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Does anyone know what the Class E addresses (240.x.x.x-254.x.x.x) were reserved for? Experimental is what I seem to have found..anyone know what was meant by this?--Kcbnac 06:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the zero address range

An expansion of the purpose of the zero-address range by someone more in the know than I would be greatly appreciated. -- Jon Dowland 16:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid of Americans

Ok, fair enough, Americans built the Internet alone and they believe they own it (built it alone after their military kids gave it to the tech and sci guys,because they didn't even thought to ask European or Asian cooperation to begin with), as they believe they own the world. But WTF why it would be so difficult to them to force their large companies to give up millions of unused IP numbers? Selfish Americans, no game for you, naughty, naughty people... [Anonymous]
