i agree it's helluva clumsy and i've got an idea to use the (i think) easily understood term "traditional class A address space" which is meant as `all addresses in the range 1.0.0.0-126.255.255.255.' what's your opinion?
Dinyl yes, I think 'traditional' is a good choice of word. The use of terms like 'Class A' is traditional and the meaning is well known in terms of the range of addresses covered. At the same time, the adjective 'traditional' is fairly neutral. Mind you, I wonder whether the Internet is old enough yet to have traditions. Habits maybe, but traditions...? Cheers. Mike
