  2. What’s this all about? 240.0.0.0/4 Source: IANA (20 Sep 2007)

  3. Options for 240.0.0.0/4 • Make Space Unicast Public • Makes it potentially available sometime down the line • Make Space Unicast Private • Lets “consenting adults” use space(draft-wilson-classe-01.txt) • Split space up in some way • Do Nothing

  4. Our Approach • We don’t yet know or agree on how address space should be used, except… • Someone should use it • “The Future begins tomorrow”: Make code changes NOW and let’s figure out whether it’s public or private in the coming months • This is what draft-fuller-240space-00.txt says

  5. There is some running code • Vince made the changes to Linux • 5 files, removing a few lines each • Could easily be a binary patch • FreeBSD and MacOSX (mostly) work • One minor change if system is router • More code needed (in a lot of places); this will take time.
