To quote from the RFC: With the proliferation of TCP/IP technology worldwide, including outside the Internet itself, an increasing number of non-connected enterprises use this technology and its addressing capabilities for sole intra-enterprise communications, without any intention to ever directly connect to other enterprises or the Internet itself. I don't see much ambiguity there concerning the intent of the authors, nor the IETF in accepting their premises. --------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <[email protected]> // 818.535.5024 voice
