All,
From the 12 Dec 2001 list of AMPR IP address coordinators:
# 44.128 is reserved for testing. Do not use for operational networks.
# You may safely assume that any packets with 44.128 addresses are bogons
# unless you are using them for some sort of testing.
44.128.x.y may be allocated for 44.x.y.z internal testing but
what happens to them depends on the net 44 routers being set up
properly such that they dispose of the test packets. Using the
10.x.y.z addresses gives you a certainty that if your test packets
inadvertantly leak out of the 44.x.y.z net, they will promptly and
safely be dropped. Either way would be using the addresses for what
they were intended of course. It's a matter of making things happen
that are proper and predictable, hence good network etiquette.
