There is lots of RFC1918 space out there, yet most people use the same 10 /24 subnets

I ended up having my OOB LAN collide with someones home network a few weeks ago, and decided to find a new subnet to use that won't collide backed up with actual usage data!

Picking uncontested private IP subnets with usage data

@benjojo what about using IPv6 for OOB? 😉

@Oskar456 Still not everything is IPv6 compatible (for example, my ATS)

On top of that there is weird client behavior if you bring up a split horizon VPN with v6 connectivity when there is no v6 default route. I've been bitten by this a load of times, I am not keen on hitting these quirks in emergencies. v4 works, it's just NAT, I choose boring/life

@benjojo
the question for me is: how many NAT (translations) are there in a connection. one...it's ok. two...well puh and three is hell. and this only if every NAT gateway is working.

ipv6 is so dead simple... (Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam)
