[44net] 44Net Private addressing

I found a statement on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet that says: 44.128.0.0/16[edit<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AMPRNet&… ] *44.128.x.x* is the testing subnet and consists of 65,536 (216) addresses. Much akin to 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 169.254.0.0/16 or 192.168.0.0/16, this is an unroutable private IP block<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network>rk>. Connectivity to the rest of the network should be given through router gateways <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(telecommunications)> much as one would do with Network address translation<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation> in any other private IP block. Is this truly the case? When I look at the portal, this /16 would be towards the end of the US allocations, and just before the Japan allocations. If this is not true, do we have a Private block in the 44/8 for use that is not routable? -- Rod Ekholm kc7aad(a)gmail.com
