I know that those of us who route 44.x.x.x have routing tables from
"44.x.x.x Point A", to "44.x.x.x Point B" and the 44.x.x.x addresses
that I use on my system, won't be duplicated on someone else's 44 system.
I know I'd be pissed to find someone else using my 44 numbers on their
system.
But, if I use 10.x.x.x numbers, and someone else used 10.x.x.x numbers,
there is an inherent chance that some of the numbering schemes used might
actually get duplicated from system to system.
One person might start using 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 and so on.
And any number of thousands of others users might use the same exact
approach.
So, I wonder in those instances of duplicate addresses, if the packets
might crash because the return route might get sent sideways do to a
route table duplication somewhere on either end, or even somewhere in
the middle.
I know I'm not going to re-configure all my stations and convince several
other hams to do the same, just for the sake of testing how to crash packet
routes with numerous duplicate ip's in the chain.... YIKES !
